Publisher's Synopsis
What is taught, who decides and why?The Relationship between Knowledge and Power in the Educational Context: A Critical Study explores how knowledge, far from being neutral, is a field where power, identities and inequalities are contested. Inspired by the theories of Foucault, Bourdieu, Freire and Santos, this book reveals how schools shape minds and perpetuate power structures, but also how they can be spaces of resistance and transformation.With proposals such as critical pedagogy and the ecology of knowledge, this work is a call to reimagine education as a tool for justice and liberation."A book that questions, inspires and transforms."
