From the Back Cover
“There really is no second choice. I don’t see any book on the market that gets at the issues McLaren does. I have used this text since it first came out and will continue to use it.”
--Sandy M. Grande, Connecticut College
This text is a provocative investigation of the political, social, and economic factors underlying classroom practices, offering a unique introduction to the contemporary field of critical pedagogy.
Life in Schools features excerpts from the author's best-selling work, Cries from the Corridor: The New Suburban Ghetto. The text provokes analytic discussion of social problems and a theoretical framework for formulating potential solutions (Parts III & IV). It also includes a new discussion of race and class, a chapter on the social construction of whiteness, and a new chapter that challenges current domestic and foreign policies of the current White House administration (including the No Child Left Behind Act) and their impact upon American public schooling.
New To This Edition:
- Contains a new concluding chapter that challenges the current neo-conservative White House administration and looks at liberal individualism from a critical perspective. This chapter includes a discussion of alternatives to capitalist society and how teachers can help bring about a new society by becoming philosophers of PRAXIS and educational activists.
- Includes new critical categories and new discussions of race and class, the No Child Left Behind Act, the role of Right Wing think tanks in the academy, and the work of Paulo Freire.
- Includes a new Foreword by Joe L. Kincheloe.
