Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a groundbreaking framework for liberatory education and social movements, which responds to contemporary crises created by globalization, conservative retrenchment, and the new imperialism. De Lissovoy reinterprets the work of foundational critical theorists, addresses debates between contemporary social justice perspectives in education, and engages the leading analyses of globalization across the disciplines. He argues that power and capital are engaged in a new project of occupation and expropriation in education and beyond, and develops a compound standpoint which links the knowledge of diverse oppositional perspectives within a practical commitment to struggle and social transformation.
