Critical Pedagogy and a Predatory Culture: Oppositional Politics in a Postmodern Era

Critical Pedagogy and Predatory Culture is a major contribution to the radical literature on culture, identity and the politics of schooling, especially as it addresses the challenge and the promise of school and social reform through what the author calls a "critical multiculturalism." The author's approach to what he calls "predatory culture" and his exploration of recent debates over the role of public institutions and the state within such culture offers the discerning reader a unique combination of neo-marxist and post-structuralist theory--referred to by the author as "resistance of postmodernist critique."
