The Critical Pedagogy Reader

by Antonia Darder (Editor), Kortney Hernandez (Editor), Kevin Lam (Editor)

Since its publication, The Critical Pedagogy Reader has firmly established itself as the leading collection of classic and contemporary essays by the major thinkers in the field of critical pedagogy. While retaining its comprehensive introduction, this thoroughly revised fourth edition includes updated section introductions, expanded bibliographies, and up-to-date classroom questions. The book is arranged topically around such issues as class, racism, gender/sexuality, language and literacy, and classroom issues for ease of usage and navigation. New reading selections cover topics such as youth activism, agency and affect, and practical implementations of critical pedagogy. Carefully attentive to both theory and practice, this new edition remains the definitive source for teaching and learning about critical pedagogy.

While there were a few chapters that contained helpful information in this text it contained mostly theory. Theory can be helpful in some cases but not when they are all repetitive and lacking information about the opposite argument.

[Shauna Hamm · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not exactly page-turning, compelling stories... but good "make you think" reading that fits with my own philosophy of education. Also doubles as a great door stop :-)

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a MUST-READ for any educator, linguist, or higher education administrator.

Academic. Ensuring equity and social justice in the curriculum and school pedagogy. Exhaustive.
