Summary

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; finally, Applications, Extensions, and Empirical Studies looks at undertheorized and underrepresented areas in critical pedagogy--gender, math education, pseudo-science, global literacy, and stories of successful resistance.
