1st Edition
Class, Race and Education under Neoliberal Capitalism
With the onset of Austerity Capitalism and Immiseration Capitalism, and with the increasing commodification, marketisation and privatisation of society and of education, Marxist Theory and Marxist Education Theory have taken on a new urgency.
In this collection of essays, written from a classic Marxist perspective, Dave Hill lays bare how the capitalist class in the knowledge industry/academia, use ideological (and repressive) state apparatuses, such as education, to divide, disarm and demoralise critical, Marxist analysis and activism.
