In a globalized neo-colonial world an insidious and often debilitating crisisof knowledge not only continues to undermine the quality of research producedby scholars but to also perpetuate a neo-colonial and oppressive socio-cultural, political economic, and educational system. The lack of attention such issues receive in pedagogical institutions around the world undermines the value of education and its role as a force of social justice. In this context these knowledge issues become a central concern of critical pedagogy. As a mode of education that is dedicated to a rigorous form of knowledge work, teachers and students as knowledge producers, anti-oppressive educational and social practices, and diverse perspectives from multiple social locations, critical pedagogy views dominant knowledge policies as a direct assault on its goals. K Servesas a complex but accessible introduction to issues surrounding knowledge and education replete with definitions of unfamiliar terms Provides a unique critique of contemporary dominant modes of knowledge production and a new critical complex way of reframing knowledge production Delineates a fresh look at the purposes of a critical pedagogy and the issues it faces in the contemporary era INDICE: From the contents Part 1: Introduction To Knowledge Production AndIts Relation To Education.
