The Critical Pedagogy Reader

by Antonia Darder (Editor)

For fifteen years, The Critical Pedagogy Reader has established itself as the leading collection of classic and contemporary essays by the major thinkers in the field of critical pedagogy. While retaining its comprehensive introduction, this thoroughly revised third edition includes updated section introductions, expanded bibliographies, and up-to-date classroom questions. The book is arranged topically around issues such as class, racism, gender/sexuality, critical literacies, and classroom issues, for ease of usage and navigation. New to this edition are substantive updates to the selections of contemporary readings, including pieces that reflect issues such as immigrant and refugee students, the role of social justice in teacher education, and an emphasis on practical elements of pedagogy, as well as it significance to forging democratic life. Carefully attentive to theory and practice, this much-anticipated third edition remains the definitive, foundational source for teaching and learning about critical pedagogy.

[Amanda]

While there were a few chapters that contained helpful information in this text it contained mostly theory. Theory can be helpful in some cases but not when they are all repetitive and lacking information about the opposite argument.

[Shauna Hamm]

Not exactly page-turning, compelling stories... but good "make you think" reading that fits with my own philosophy of education. Also doubles as a great door stop :-)

[Sarah]

This is a MUST-READ for any educator, linguist, or higher education administrator.

[Stephen Bigger]

Academic. Ensuring equity and social justice in the curriculum and school pedagogy. Exhaustive.
