This work analyzes the nature of educational pedagogy in the contemporary capitalist world-system under American hegemony. Mocombe and Tomlin interpret the role of education as an institutional or ideological apparatus for capitalist domination, and examine the sociolinguistic means or pedagogies by which global and local social actors are educated within the capitalist world-system to serve the needs of capital; i.e., capital accumulation. Two specific case studies, one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom, are utilized to demonstrate how contemporary educational emphasis on language and literacy parallels the organization of work and contributes to the debate on academic underachievement of black students vis-a-vis their white and Asian counterparts"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge research in education ;$v91. 606 $aBlack people$xEducation$vCase studies 606 $aAfrican Americans$xEducation$vCase studies 606 $aBlack people$xEducation$zGreat Britain$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$vCase studies 606 $aUnderachievement$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aUnderachievement$zGreat Britain$vCase studies 615 0$aBlack people$xEducation 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xEducation 615 0$aBlack people$xEducation 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aUnderachievement 615 0$aUnderachievement 676 $a371.829/96 686 $aEDU040000$aEDU003000$aEDU018000$2bisacsh 700 $aMocombe$b Paul C.$0879939 702 $aTomlin$b Carol 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812499703321 996 $aLanguage, literacy, and pedagogy in postindustrial societies$94074367 997 $aUNINA
