The Power of Critical Theory makes a powerful case for how the work of leading critical theorists can help adult educators and learners make sense of the pressing dilemmas, contradictions and frustrations they experience in their work. Stephen Brookfield guides the readers through a number of concepts and the theorists most identified with each concept. He also examines critical theory from writers who critique the theories using the lenses of gender and race. (From the Publisher)
