Sommario/riassunto

Demonstrating that learning is the educational logic that underpins capitalism and democracy, Ford articulates a theory of communist study as an alternative and oppositional logic. This book will be of interest to scholars of educational philosophy, political theory, philosophy, critical pedagogy, composition and rhetoric, and peace and conflict studies.
