Education and the Reproduction of Capital - Neoliberal Knowledge and Counterstrategies (Hardcover)

The volume is a reflection on the specific context of neoliberal capitalism and it's impact on education. The chapters move beyond establishing the linkages between neoliberalism and education. They establish the intersectionality of state, capital and education and engage with possibilities of transcending the onslaught of capital. Cutting across different chapters there is an analysis of how capital mutilates the educational structures, shapes the discourses to further its own interests and is constantly engaged in thwarting possibilities of opposition. Despite this offensive of capital possibilities of resistance remain. Contributors have made efforts through examples to demonstrate how this happens in different geographical locations - from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere.
