Synopsis

Contending that it threatens the very foundation of democracy by deterring public participation, cultural critic Giroux examines neoliberalism both as a cultural politics and a public pedagogy. His wide-ranging analysis reveals how this type of market fundamentalism exacerbates class, racial, and gender inequalities. The volume concludes with reflections on Edward Said's legacy of resistance. Giroux (communications, McMaster U.) is the author of numerous books, including The Mouse that Roared (1999).
