"In an age of sterile defeatism and destructive cynicism, this book provides a refreshingly balanced look at the possibilities of social change through pedagogy. It contains essays based on a strong belief in the power of pedagogy to shake the foundations of hegemonic education; to challenge neo-liberal economic and cultural policies; and to re-imagine and work towards a more democratic and just world. It re-visits previous times and places where hope appeared impractical, exploring the possibilities of social intervention through collective struggle and critical education." - Fazal Rizvi, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
