"While neoliberalism is deepening and education further compromised, this book points to the possibilities to where the light is. This book is important not only in terms of understanding hope, but also necessary in reclaiming and sustaining it. This text serves as an antidote to the dark times of neoliberalism; a necessary reading for educators and critical thinkers around the world."Spyros Themelis, Senior Lecturer in Education, School of Education & Lifelong Learning, University of East Anglia, UK.
