These assumptions have expressed themselves in the form and content of curriculum, classroom social relations, classroom cultural artifacts, and the experiences and beliefs of teachers and students. Have existing radical critiques provided the theoretical building blocks for a new theory of pedagogy?The author attempts to move beyond the abstract, negative characteristics of many radical critiques, which are often based on false dualisms that fail to link structure and intentionally, content and process, ideology and hegemony, etc. He also is critical of the over-determined models of socialization and the abstract celebration of subjectivity that underlies much of the false utopianism of many radical perspectives. Professor Giroux begins to lay the theoretical groundwork for developing a radical pedagogy that connects critical theory with the need for social action in the interest of individual freedom and social reconstruction. Author note: Henry A.Giroux is Assistant Professor of Education at Boston University. He is the co-editor of \"Curriculum and Instruction: Alternatives in Education\" and \"The Hidden Curriculum and Moral Education\".","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49615605563665,"sku":"GOR013647309","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/087722370X.jpg?v=1763220294"},{"product_id":"education-and-cultural-studies-book-henry-a-giroux-9780415919142","title":"Education and Cultural Studies","description":"Although the disciplines of critical education and cultural studies have traditionally occupied separate spaces as they have addressed different audiences, their concerns as well as the political and pedagogical nature of their work overlap.  Education and Cultural Studies  brings members of these two groups together to demonstrate how a critical understanding of culture and education can transgressively implement broad political change.    All written from within this framework of cultural studies and critical pedagogy, the contributors illuminate the possibilities and opportunities open to practicing educators. In eschewing a romantic utopianism, and in assessing the current climate of what is attainable and practical, this book teaches us how we can begin to translate and perhaps even transform the vexing social problems that confront us daily.

Kaye, David Theo Goldberg, Jeffrey Williams, Sharon Todd, Douglas Kellner, Deborah Britzman, Jacqueline Reid-Walsh, Claudia Mitchell, Cameron McCarthy, Mike Hill, Susan Searls, Stanley Aronowitz, Douglas Noble, Kakie Urch, Henry Giroux, David Trend, and Robert Mikilitsch.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50099814727953,"sku":"CIN0415919142G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52122657227025,"sku":"NLS9780415919142","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52735289884945,"sku":"NIN9780415919142","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415919142.jpg?v=1751292415"},{"product_id":"teachers-as-intellectuals-book-henry-a-giroux-9780897891561","title":"Teachers as Intellectuals","description":"a book for all practitioners and all members of the greater community.

Giroux examines the tragic events of Abu Ghraib and analyzes the conditions that made them possible, all the while trying to understand the role that education plays in creating violations of human rights that one largely attributes to authoritarian regimes. And he describes the need for progressives to develop a language of hope as a condition for critically engaged politics and the emergence of new social formations. The book ends with an engaging personal interview with the author.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50276018094353,"sku":"GOR010147376","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1894037235.jpg?v=1751123825"},{"product_id":"university-in-chains-book-henry-a-giroux-9781594514234","title":"University in Chains","description":"President Eisenhower originally included 'academic' in the draft of his landmark, oft-quoted speech on the military-industrial-complex.

Through the mendacious exchange of facts for “fake news,” Henry A. Giroux examines the language of hatred that activates neoliberal fascism, complete with state-sanctioned racism, casino capitalism, and fear-mongering at federal and local levels. In this “age of disposability,” Trump’s rhetoric eschews reason and democratic principles in favor of impetuous politics rooted in bigotry, all to injuriously catastrophic effect. Through protests, strikes, and education, Giroux proposes an international social movement that joins together various modes of resistance to illuminate a democratic renewal, and proves himself once again as one of the great public intellectuals of our time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395179024657,"sku":"CIN1940660491G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52485939560721,"sku":"NLS9781940660493","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53252516479249,"sku":"NIN9781940660493","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53557313732881,"sku":"GOR011579588","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1940660491.jpg?v=1751413471"},{"product_id":"pedagogy-and-the-politics-of-hope-book-henry-giroux-9780813332741","title":"Pedagogy And The Politics Of Hope","description":"Henry A. Giroux is one of the most respected and well-known critical education scholars, social critics, and astute observers of popular culture in the modern world. For those who follow his considerably influential work in critical pedagogy and social criticism, this first-ever collection of his classic writings, augmented by a new essay, is a must-have volume that reveals his evolution as a scholar. In it, he takes on three major considerations central to pedagogy and schooling.The first section offers Giroux's most widely read theoretical critiques on the culture of positivism and technocratic rationality. He contends that by emphasizing the logic of science and rationality rather than taking a holistic worldview, these approaches fail to take account of connections among social, political, and historical forces or to consider the importance of such connections for the process of schooling.In the second section, Giroux expands the theoretical framework for conceptualizing and implementing his version of critical pedagogy. His theory of border pedagogy advocates a democratic public philosophy that embraces the notion of difference as part of a common struggle to extend the quality of public life. For Giroux, a student must function as a border-crosser, as a person moving in and out of physical, cultural, and social borders. He uses the popular medium of Hollywood film to show students how they might understand their own position as partly constructed within a dominant Eurocentric tradition and how power and authority relate to the wider society as well as to the classroom.In the last section, Giroux explores a number of contemporary traditions and issues, including modernism, postmodernism, and feminism, and discusses the matter of cultural difference in the classroom. Finally, in an essay written especially for this volume, Giroux analyzes the assault on education and teachers as public intellectuals that began in the Reagan-Bush era and continues today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50593233994001,"sku":"GOR003977321","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697221406993,"sku":"NGR9780813332741","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50782965661969,"sku":"CIN0813332745VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008138477841,"sku":"NIN9780813332741","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51689464824081,"sku":"CIN0813332745G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52149899002129,"sku":"NLS9780813332741","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813332745.jpg?v=1751362664"},{"product_id":"pedagogy-and-the-politics-of-hope-book-henry-giroux-9780367317195","title":"Pedagogy And The Politics Of Hope","description":"Henry A.

Drawing on thinkers from Bourdieu and Gramsci to Stuart Hall and Edward Said, Giroux exposes how capitalism and authoritarianism now fuse into a single 'disimagination machine' - one that erases memory, normalises cruelty and trains citizens to accept injustice as common sense.  Across essays and interviews, he shows that fascism is not only a political or economic project but a cultural one, sustained through spectacle, distraction and the control of language, media, and technology. Yet culture also holds the means of resistance: it can awaken conscience, preserve memory and cultivate the imagination necessary for solidarity and change.  Giroux calls for a renewed cultural and pedagogical revolution - one that reclaims education, art, and media as spaces for civic courage and hope. Against the culture of cruelty, he urges the creation of a culture of freedom.  Capitalism and Culture is an essential manifesto for artists, educators, curators and citizens who see culture not as entertainment but as the ground on which democracy itself will stand or fall.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53007691940113,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53007692300561,"sku":"NGR9781912528639","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781912528639.jpg?v=1767915849"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-henry-giroux.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
