Stimmen zu »Capitalism-Culture and Educational Praxis«
“Gitlin's book is a serious and provocative analysis of some of the most important issues confronting critical social theory in education. It consistently raises questions that challenge a number of the assumptions that guide critical work.” (Michael W. Apple, author of Can Education Change Society?)
“This is one of the first books to offer the modernist reader living in post-modern times a guide to understanding the constitution of the self and culture centered within the larger social materialist history of society. A great text for conceptualizing the relations between Marx's superstructure and culture!” (Paul C. Mocombe, President, The Mocombeian Foundation, USA)
“As befits a work focused on educational critical theory (ECT), Gitlin has produced an admirably open ended, pluralistic, and diagnostic-educational as opposed to programmatic –dogmatic book. Gitlin’s call for ECT to rebalance its ‘cul-tural turn’ and base its analysis on the political economy causes of inequality, and a more direct engagement with class, race, gender and capitalism, is welcome. But more than that; in the context of the intersecting crises humanity faces, this book is as timely as it is necessary to help us both understand and navigate these troubling and turbu-lent times.” (John Barry, Professor of Green Political Economy, Queen's University Belfast, UK)
