Up and down Ocean beach, fires became more visible, like flashlights poking up out of the sand, casting their light deep into the Milky Way. Crashing ocean waves were occasionally heard amidst the crackling kindling. The warmth of the fire met the gathering breeze.

  • Review Essay: Neoliberalism, Education and Strategies of Resistance
    Review Essay: Neoliberalism, education and strategies of resistance Charlie Cooper University of Hull, England Hill, D. (ed) (2009) Contesting Neoliberal Education: Public Resistance and Collective Advance, New York/Abingdon: Routledge, 276 pp. Ross, E.W. and Gibson, R. (eds) (2007) Neoliberalism and Education Reform, Cresskill, N.J. : Hampton Press, 312 pp. Background The value of education for exploitative relations under industrial capitalism has been understood for some time. The need for state intervention in education to further the interests of capitalism has been recognised since the nineteenth century. As Jones and Novak (2000) observe, state education in Britain was established to subvert the radical threat posed by working-class self-education provided in miners’ schools, night classes, Chartist schools and so forth. Its main purpose was to prepare the workforce of the future and inculcate young people with the ‘right’ social attitudes. Whilst schooling and higher education around the mid twentieth century did offer sites for greater critical understanding to be nurtured (in Britain under the influence of Keynesian welfarism during the immediate post-war period), since the 1980s education in Britain, the US and developing nations is increasingly being shaped by neoliberal ideology. It is the effects of this latter development with which both these edited texts are primarily concerned. More specifically, Neoliberalism and Education Reform sets out to achieve two principal aims: first, to offer a critical assessment of state education systems under neoliberal welfare regimes; and second, to present counter concepts about educational issues based on a Marxian understanding. As such, it aims to provide a ‘tool bag’ with which to, firstly, scrutinise neoliberal perspectives on education (and, by doing so, expose their inherent flaws and contradictions); and secondly, to consider alternative ‘democratic’ education practices capable of generating a more ‘just’ society.

Runaway capitalism slides off its rails. The results of deregulation rear their hyrdra-like head(s). Tax cuts illustrate what applying leeches to a patient who is bleeding to death must feel like. The numbers can no longer be faked, massaged, or hidden (as con-artists are—finally—being plucked up by the SEC). Most CEOs, though, (and the economists and the conservative news outlets) are given a free pass while blue collar workers must fight (sit-in, resist, etc.) for their lives. Needless to say, we are faced with a financial crisis we have not seen for some time.

  • Critical Education and Insurgent Pedagogies: an Interview with E
    Critical Education and Insurgent Pedagogies | 405 Critical Education and Insurgent Pedagogies: An Interview with E. Wayne Ross Carlo Fanelli Carlo Fanelli1 (CF): Before working in the post-secondary education sector, you also taught as a pre-school and high-school instructor. Could you explain the impact that neoliberalism has had philosophically and as a political economic project on the institutional aspects of education. Have there been noticeable cultural shifts, differences in pedagogical emphases or allocation of funding priorities? E. Wayne Ross2 (EWR): For more than three decades now there has been a steady intensification of education reforms worldwide aimed at making public schools and universities more responsive to the interests of capital than ever before. And, neoliberal ideology is at the heart of what’s been labelled the global education reform movement or GERM. Key neoliberal principles such as reducing government spending for education (and other social services) and privatizing public enterprises has led to targeting the very existence of public education or more precisely education in the public interest. Indeed, a key aim of neolib- eralism is the destruction of the commons, the very idea of the common 1 Carlo Fanelli is a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Politics and Public Administration, Ryerson University, and Scholar-In- Residence at the Global Labour Research Centre, York University.

As the special investigator general seeks more transparency from the banks regarding the use of the bail out money, we are simply assured by the bankers that they are, indeed, lending us (our) money—and, that it would be too complicated to illustrate it for us.

Intratexturealities: The Poetics of the Freedom Schools Vonzell Agosto University of Wisconsin-Madison Freedom Schools, which operated during 1964 after the collaborative efforts of several Civil Rights organizations, provided an opportunity to understand how students can drive the curriculum to meet individual and collective needs within a community. The presence and use of poetry throughout the Freedom Schools was mysterious, given that it is virtually absent in the curriculum guide, memos, and documents prepared by the administrative staff members and teachers. Students’ poetry not only revealed the intersections and layers of lived experience, society, and culture, but also their agency in the context of an anti-oppressive education project. INTRODUCTION In a revolutionary attempt to combat oppression in the social, political, legal, economic, and educational system, several organizations involved in the Civil Rights Movement joined efforts as the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO) to create the Freedom Summer Project of 1964.
