The Critical Pedagogy Reader: Second Edition

by Antonia Darder (Editor), Marta P. Baltodano (Editor), Rodolfo D. Torres (Editor)

Since its publication, The Critical Pedagogy Reader has firmly 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 second edition includes more fully developed section introductions, updated and expanded bibliographies, and up-to-date classroom questions. The book is arranged topically around such issues as class, racism, gender/sexuality, language and literacy, and classroom issues for ease of usage and navigation. In addition, two entirely new sections focused on teacher education and critical issues beyond the classroom provide readers with the all-important tools needed to put critical pedagogical theory into practice in their own classrooms. Carefully attentive to both theory and practice, this new edition remains the definitive source for teaching and learning about critical pedagogy.

Reviews

[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.
