Between Borders: Pedagogy and the Politics of Cultural Studies / Edition 1

by Henry A. Giroux, Peter McLaren

Overview

Informed by the belief that critical pedagogy must move beyond the classroom if it is to be truly effective, this essay collection makes clear how cultural practices—as portrayed in film, sports, and in the classroom itself—enable cultural studies to deepen its own political possibilities and to construct diverse geographies of identity, representation and place.

Contributors: Henry A. Giroux, Ava Collins, Nancy Fraser, Carol Becker, bell hooks, Michael Eric Dyson, Roger I. Simon, Chandra Talpede Mohanty, Simon Watney, Michele Wallace, Peter McLaren, David Trend, Abdul R. JanMohamed and Kenneth Mostern.

Editorial Reviews

"The conception of Between Borders is a prime example of praxis in action. Giroux and Peter McLaren participate as editors in an effort to open up a space in which different voices, ones that have dramatically influenced these authors' own work, are able to represent themselves. . . Those interested in the relationship between pedagogy and cultural studies are well served by Larry Grossberg's excellent introduction to the book." — Pepi Leistyna, Harvard Educational Review
