Henry A. Giroux is a social critic and educator. He currently holds the Global Television Network Chair in Communication Studies at McMaster University, Ontario.
"From Mobil/Exxon to the two presidential candidates, everyone has
a cure for the ills of education, but as usual Henry Giroux sees
the truth behind the rhetoric. Stop stealing the future from our
young people, especially in the working class. Unable to get decent
educations, chained to dead-end jobs, our young people are the
targets of state-sponsored violence. Giroux knows personally this
situation; this book is his intellectual autobiography. Listen to
him and act."--John Carlos Rowe, University of Southern
California
"Giroux has written a compelling critical discourse analyzing the
present crisis of democracy. We can only hope it will become a
manifesto, taken up by an informed and energized citizenryready to
act."--Carol Becker, Professor of the Arts and Dean of the School
of the Arts, Columbia University
"This is classic Giroux in the sense that it contains all the
passion, empathy, and righteous anger that we have come to
associate with Henry Giroux. Impressive in his unflagging
commitment to a public pedagogy that creates, sustains, and expands
our discussions of what it means to be a citizen and member of a
world community. Among so many strengths, I would single out this
books attention to the youth of the worldnot as & resources to be &
developed and & trained, but as our best hope for a just
world."--David Palumbo-Liu, author, The Deliverance of Others:
