Marxism and education: renewing the dialogue, pedagogy, and culture

Marxist thinking can offer a critical understanding of education in an international context. Jones tackles these issues from a variety of angles and perspectives, taking advantage of recent theoretical innovations in Marxist analysis as well as the personal experiences of educational practitioners with Marxist commitments. With a specific focus on pedagogical practices as cultural practices, this book combines detailed case studies of local situations with broad, critical overviews of global development and challenges. PETER E. JONES is Principal Lecturer in Communication Studies at SheffieldHallam University, UK.
