I was lucky to study Kumaravadivelu books and to tackle them critically with my Prof. El-Okda. Kumar's ideas were interesting, but not new since they were introduced by other researchers. His view that every method has a political ideology is what characterizes his thought. He was influenced in this by Pennycook, who overstated the ideology effect on a teaching method.
Kumar discussed in his first book the principles followed in the postmethod, then he published his second book in which he revealed the framework of the postmethod.
I recommend them to language teachers.
