Opis

This in-depth critical interrogation of neoliberalism in schooling/education focuses on Resistance to Neoliberal education policies. Contributors examine the impact of Neoliberal education policies on education workers, on Equity/ Equality/ Access/ Rights (especially social class, race' and gender-based) and on democracy, democratic control and critical thinking in education. Chapters analyse and evaluate resistance from NGOs such as the Public Services International, activist organizations such as the Socialist Teachers Alliance in Britain, the Rouge Forum in the USA, teacher trade unions in Latin America, and the radical democratic Porto Alegre experiences in Brazil.
