Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being

De Lissovoy authoritatively but lovingly takes the field of critical pedagogy by its nape, carrying it forward into the present moment. Writing against the neoliberal mantra of there is no alternative, he produces a cogently argued mapping of how to reclaim a critical, democratic pedagogy through the power, struggles, and discomforts of collectivity and relationality. This is precisely the revolution we need. --Sandy Grande, Professor of Political Science and Native American and Indigenous Studies, University of Connecticut, USA In Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being, De Lissovoy shows us why he is one of education's sharpest thinkers at the crossroads of culture, critical theory, and critique of capitalism. In this book, he works through the intricate relationships between coloniality, advanced neoliberalism, and critical pedagogy in order to point us toward a truly radical, anti-capitalist curriculum. --Wayne Au, Professor, School of Educational Studies, University of Washington, Bothell, USA Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being stands apart from other projects in education, sociology and radical philosophy. De Lissovoy uniquely synthesizes traditions associated with Marxism and decolonial theory and constructs a new pedagogical imagination rooted in love, difference, and freedom. A vital intervention from one of the most important intellectuals writing in the Freirean tradition today. --Alexander Means, Associate Professor of Educational Foundations, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA
