This is an instant classic! Peter McLaren and Ramin Farahmandpur move Marxism into the new millennium.

David Gabbard, East Carolina University

This latest offering by McLaren, co-authored with Ramin Farahmandpur, provides critical analysis of the relevant dimensions of Marxist theory in application to a critique of globalization. Professors of labor studies, sociology, anthropology, political science, business, and especially education, would be negligent to ignore the vital issues raised in this powerful and timely book. The call for critical revolutionary pedagogy should be heeded by educators, and they should be alarmed by the many examples provided of first amendment violations of the rights of teachers and students across America in the name of patriotism. A must-read!

Roberto Bahruth, Boise State University

In this excellent volume the authors explain why a Marxist analysis of the existing capitalist system is necessary to understand the current neoliberal assault. This book arrives just in time!

Richard Brosio, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

At a time when the administration of Emperor Bush has taken American imperialism to new and dangerous heights and at a time when there is barely a country which has not been caught in the cross-hairs of American military might and the radical free-market ideology of corporate globalization, McLaren and Farahmandpur have fashioned a book that is a timely, critical intervention for our times. A revolutionary pedagogy of resistance has never been more needed.

McLaren and Farahmandpur lay bare the hollow claims of the protoganists for contemporary capitalist society and uncover the new imperialism as a key topic for education today. Another education is possible!

Glenn Rikowski, University of Northampton, UK

This is a powerful and passionate indictment of capitalism and imperialism-a necessary corrective to mainstream and fashionable postmodernist analyses that avoid and deny old-fashioned 'grand narratives' such as exploitation and class oppression.
