Overview

Twelve essays form an expanded and partially updated version of Postmodernism in Educational Theory: Education and the Politics of Human Resistance (Tufnell Press, 1999). Academics from the United Kingdom and the United States seek to discredit and dislodge notions that postmodern theories of left as offering hope in the formation of radical and transformative perspectives in educational theory. Three major themes animate the proceedings: the appraisal and critique of post-modernism within educational theory; the explication of Marxist and socialist-feminist alternatives to postmodernism, and human resistance to capital and its associated forms of inequality.
