Professor Paraskeva is one of the world’s leading educational and curriculum theorists. This book shows all the signs of a classic work. I am pleased to support this book, as I believe it will stand at the cutting edge of the curriculum field and will also be very influential among Freireans and those educators interested in critical theory and pedagogy. This book is sorely needed today, especially given the attacks on critical studies by authoritarian and populist groups. This book represents a prime theoretical weapon in the fight for democracy.
