  • Advisors and faculty members who seek insight to cultural concerns in public education will find Kanpol's book intriguing....an excellent and useful resource for faculty and administrators in higher education. Specifically, this book is invaluable to faculty members in teacher education, educational leadership, and higher education administration programs, as well as those responsible for training teachers in discipline-specific courses in higher education.
    —The Journal of the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA)     Spring 2000
Description: Critical pedagogy refers to the means and methods of testing and attempting to change the structures of schools that allow inequities. It is a cultural-political tool that takes seriously the notion of human differences, particularly those related to race, class, and gender. Critical pedagogy seeks to release the oppressed and unite people in a shared language of critique, struggle, and hope, to end various forms of human suffering. In this revised edition, Kanpol takes the pre- and in-service educators along some initial steps to becoming critical pedagogists. As before, university professors and public school teachers alike will learn how to address their own prophetic commitments to belief and faith in the fight against despair, institutional chaos, oppression, death of spirit, and exile.
