Henry A. Giroux argues that education holds a crucial role in shaping politics at a time when ignorance, lies and fake news have empowered right-wing groups and created deep divisions in society. Education, with its increasingly corporate and conservative-based technologies, is partly responsible for creating these division. It contributes to the pitting of people against each other through the lens of class, race, and any other differences that don't embrace White nationalism. Giroux’s analysis ranges from the pandemic and the inequality it has revealed, to the rise of Trumpism and its afterlife, and to the work of Paulo Freire and how his book Pedagogy of Hope can guide us in these dark times and help us produce critical and informed citizens. He argues that underlying the current climate of inequity, isolation, and social atomization (all exacerbated by the pandemic) is a crisis of education. Out of this comes the need for a pedagogy of resistance that is accessible to everyone, built around a vision of hope for an alternative society rooted in the ideals of justice, equality, and freedom.

Henry Giroux understands the depth of the crisis we now face in the United States and around the globe. In Pedagogy of Resistance, he writes about it all with the fire of a prophet and with the insight of a seasoned theorist. We all have to step up—especially educators—if democracy is to be saved. Educators have to devise new languages, tell different stories, and imagine new solidarities. We have to help forge a different way of being together shorn of the distortions of a way of life that thrives on ignorance and has turned us into monsters. Read every word of this book. Be unsettled. And when you finished the book, gather yourself, educators, and join the fight!
