Reinventing Critical Pedagogy: Widening the Circle of Anti-Oppression Education

by César Augusto Rossatto, Ricky Lee Allen, Marc Pruyn

Reinventing Critical Pedagogy is divided into three thematic areas: Race, Ethnicity, and Critical Pedagogy, which exposes the pervasiveness of white supremacy and ethnic conflict; Theoretical Concerns, in which authors rethink the basic premises of capitalism, alienation, experience, religion, and social justice through a critical theory lens, a critical pedagogy staple; and finally, Applications, Extensions, and Empirical Studies, which looks at undertheorized and underrepresented areas in critical pedagogy-gender, math education, pseudo-science, global literacy, and stories of successful resistance.

I found this collection uneven. Some I really, really liked-- particularly the whole first section on Race, Ethnicity and Critical Pedagogy. Some of the rest of it was just too straight up Marxist for me.
