| Description: | Author Sarah Knopp discusses "Education and Capitalism: Struggles for Learning and Liberation," a volume authored by teacher-activists that draws on the ideas and experiences of social justice educators in fighting against racism and for equality in education.
Today, a conservative, bipartisan consensus dominates the discussion about what's wrong with our schools and how to fix them. The "solutions" scapegoat teachers, vilify our unions and promise more private control and market mentality as the answer. In each case, students lose - especially students of color and the children of the working class and the poor.
"Education and Capitalism" (Haymarket Books, 2012) speaks back to that elite consensus, informed by a revolutionary vision of pedagogy, schools and education, and paints a radical critique of education in corporate America, past and present, and contributes to a vision of alternatives for education and liberation.
