Beskrivning

Education has become a crucial site of struggle in multiple nations of the world. Education and the Politics of Interruption examines how governments, schools, educators, communities, and parents have become central figures in the conflicts between authoritarian coalitions and progressive educational and social movements. In recent years, educators around the world have experienced increasingly influential and powerful attempts by the right to ban books from classrooms and libraries, silence diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, control what and whose knowledge is taught in classrooms, and push policies that defund public schools, increase the pressure for marketization, and assert “parental choice.” This book describes ongoing alliances and organizing efforts across the globe that work to build and defend critically democratic educational policies and practices amid the growing rightist ideological and legislative influences. It provides substantive critical analyses of conservative and authoritarian agendas in education, exposes the social and educational costs of these agendas, and documents the ongoing struggles against them. In the process, it broadens our understanding of how people can defend and expand critically democratic schooling and cooperate across differing ideological agendas. This volume will be important reading for critical educators and for scholars and students of Critical Education, Curriculum Studies, Education Politics and Policy, Social Justice, Sociology of Education, and Comparative Education.

"The strength of Education and the Politics of Interruption lies in its ability to show a diversity of ways in which ideological struggles occur surrounding what education should look like. By taking a global perspective and drawing on the history of education-related activism and reforms in different countries, readers can see more clearly how these political struggles over education recur across time and place... The book shows the necessity of continued organizing, mobilization, and resistance to bring about progressive change."Book review by Hannah Castner, Harvard Educational Review, April 2026, 96(1), pp. 151-156.Read the full review: https://doi.org/10.17763/B7G5T9N3L"Presenting a myriad of examples, the text challenges assumptions of wins and losses, the distribution of power, and what is possible in movements of the people, showing how right-wing influences happen in similar and distinct ways across countries. These examples also show how resistance can be effective, when it is mobilized in thoughtful and strategic ways."Book review by Asilia Franklin-Phipps, Journal of Education Policy, April 2026, 41(4), pp. 669–670.Read the full review: https://doi.org/10.1080/02680939.2026.2658356 "The book represents a timely and significant contribution to critical education policy, comparative education, and the sociology of education. It will be of particular interest to scholars and graduate students seeking to understand the complex interplay between education and political ideology, as well as to practitioners and policy makers concerned with sustaining democratic and socially just educational practices in increasingly polarised contexts. By foregrounding the possibility of interruption, the volume offers both an analytical framework and a cautiously optimistic account of the transformative potential of collective action in education."Book review by Liting Lu and Jing Li, Educational Review, March 2026Read the full review: https://doi.org/10.1080/00131911.2026.2649715"This is a book that feels very much grounded in the present moment. Across many contexts, education is increasingly caught up in wider political tensions, making it harder to separate what happens in schools and universities from broader debates about identity, belonging and power [...] What makes the book valuable is that it does not treat these developments as inevitable. Instead, it asks how they are being challenged and what forms of response are possible across different contexts. [...] What I found most valuable is the way the book holds together a sense of challenge and possibility. It does not downplay the pressures that education systems are facing, especially in relation to the narrowing of what can be said or taught. At the same time, it does not present these pressures as fixed. By focusing on interruption, it offers a way of thinking about change that feels grounded and realistic. It suggests that even within constrained conditions, there are still spaces where different approaches can emerge."Book review by Tayeba Khan, British Journal of Sociology of Education, May 2026, 47(6), pp. 1239–1242.Read the full review: https://doi.org/10.1080/01425692.2026.2666440
