{"product_id":"marxism-and-educational-theory-hardback","title":"Marxism and Educational Theory - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe live in a world where thousands make massive profits out of the labours of others, while those others exist as wage slaves, millions of whom die of starvation and poverty-related illness every year. The fundamental aim of Marxism is the overthrow of the anarchic, exploitative and eco-destructive system of world capitalism and its replacement by world socialism and equality. To build a socialist world is a task of gargantuan proportions, but one that Marxists believe is eminently achievable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book addresses some of these challenges from within educational theory. The key theoretical issues addressed are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eutopian socialism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epoststructuralism and postmodernism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etransmodernism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eglobalisation, neo-liberalism and environmental destruction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe new imperialism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecritical race theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarxism and Educational Theory compellingly and informatively propels the debate forward in the pursuit of that socialist future. In that quest, suggestions are made to connect theoretical issues with the more practical concerns of the school and the classroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a specially written Foreword by Peter McLaren, this timely book will be of interest to academics and students interested in educational theory, the sociology of education, sociology, politics, philosophy and critical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548186763502,"sku":"9780415331708","price":244.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415331708.jpg?v=1720261268","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/marxism-and-educational-theory-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
