Fascism on Trial
This book interrogates rising fascism in America. It spotlights the major facets of fascism that increasingly characterize contemporary U.S. politics, in relation to political authoritarianism, the rise of anti-intellectualism, the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories, the glorification of political street violence and state violence, rising white supremacy, and the militarization of U.S. political discourse. Alongside this, Giroux and DiMaggio s…
Teachers as Intellectuals
First published in 1988,Teachers as Intellectualsencourages us to see schools as democratic spaces in which teachers and students work together to transform society.Giroux incorporates the most valuable insights of critical pedagogy into a more comprehensive and practical theory of schooling, committed to educating students in the language of critique and possibility. At the heart of his vision for schooling is the ability of the teacher to act a…
Theory and Resistance in Education
Reissued with a new introduction from Henry A. Giroux, this classic work provides theoretical and political tools for addressing how pedagogy, knowledge, resistance, and power can be analyzed within and across a variety of cultural spheres, including but not limited to the schools.This edition includes four new chapters covering critical pedagogy and resistance, cultural politics and public intellectuals, challenging gangster capitalism and the l…
Insurrections
With this book Henry A. Giroux argues that insurrection has become a dominant motif for the USA and other countries torn between the promises and ideals of democracy and an emergent authoritarianism. He argues that education is central to the idea of insurrection, showing how on the one hand it contributes to an insurrectional authoritarianism, wedded to a fascist legacy that calls for racial purity, militarism, ultra-nationalism, and state terro…

The Violence of Organized Forgetting
refuses to give in or give up. The Violence of Organized Forgetting is a clarion call to imagine a different America--just, fair, and caring--and then to struggle for it.--Bill Moyers Giroux has accomplished an exciting, brilliant intellectual dissection of America's somnambulent voyage into anti-democratic political depravity. His analysis of the plight of America's youth is particularly heartbreaking. If we have a shred of moral fibre left in o…
Between Borders
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…

Neoliberalism's War Against Teachers in Dark Times
With schools becoming increasingly organized under the dictates of punitive and market cultures, the autonomy of educators is being constrained in such ways as to prevent them from carrying out pedagogies that might provide their students with a political consciousness and a sense of social responsibility. Teachers in the United States today are being forced to embody the role of 'technician' and to carry out harsh disciplinary policies, teaching…

Twilight of the social
In The Twilight of the Social, Henry A. Giroux looks at the decline of social spaces which enable grievances to be dealt with and considers new ways in which citizens can create social spaces today. After decades of neoliberalism, today's young people lack a voice and are saddled with economic, political, and social conditions that have rendered them marginalised and ultimately disposable. Giroux covers a broad range of topics - from youth and th…
Universities Gone Wild
This article argues that the Penn State scandal both symbolizes the corruption of higher education by big money, big sports, and corporate power and points to what we describe as a symptom of the war on youth. Penn State, like many of its counterparts, has become a corporate university caught in the grip of the military-industrial-academic complex rather than an institution driven by public values and ethical considerations. We argue that the Pen…
Fighting for the Future
This article compares the massive and widespread student protests in Europe and the Middle East with the relatively weak forms of protests emanating from students in the United States. Through consideration of the different formative cultures in Europe and the Middle East and the protesters' use of the new media technologies, the article argues that the formative culture for dissent and critical education in the United States has been weakened an…

Obama's Betrayal of Public Education? Arne Duncan and the Corporate Model of Schooling
This article criticizes Obama's appointment of Arne Duncan as U.S. Secretary of Education suggesting that it represents a corporate and penal model of school reform. The authors contend that Duncan's record as 'CEO' of the Chicago Public Schools represents the implementation of educational policies and pedagogical approaches antithetical to the democratic values of public and critical education
Democracy's Nemesis
This essay focuses on how higher education has been reshaped under the influence of a market rationality, however devalued recently, that continues to license out the university as a storefront, reconfigure governance on the model of a discredited business model, reduce faculty to contract labor, and position students largely as customers. Against the increasing corporatization of higher education, the essay calls for reclaiming education as cruc…

Reading Hurricane Katrina
The tragedy and suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is symptomatic of a crisis in the United States that extends far beyond matters of governance and the incompetence of the Bush administration. Rather than simply represent a crisis of leadership, Katrina is analysed as part of a biopolitics of disposability—in which entire populations marginalized by race and class are now considered redundant, an unnecessary burden on state coffers …

The Passion of the Right
This article argues that under the presidency of George Bush, the Republican Party has increasingly become an extension of the religious right. One consequence is a rampant anti-intellectualism coupled with Taliban-like moralism now boldly translates into everyday cultural practices and political policies as right-wing evangelicals live out their messianic view of the world. Democratic politics and secular humanism are being replaced by a 'Raptur…
Beyond Belief
This article looks at the increasing way in which evangelical religion has shaped the cultural politics and policies of the United States and the presidency of George W. Bush. The author argues that under the Bush administration, there is an ongoing attempt to collapse the divisions between religion and the state and that the implications for such changes threaten not only freedom of religion but the very nature of democracy

Cultural Studies as Performative Politics
This article addresses the role public intellectuals and cultural workers might play in challenging the pervasive institutional and ideological influ ence of neoliberalism as it continues to attack all public spaces and social services not governed by the logic of the market. The author takes up this challenge by articulating a relationship between the political and peda gogical that is central to any notion of cultural politics. In doing so, he …

Educated Hope in an Age of Privatized Visions
Questions of agency and hope are inseparable from questions of politics and social struggle. As the vast majority of citizens become detached from public forums that nourish social critique, agency not only becomes a mockery of itself, it is replaced by market-based choices in which private satisfactions replace social responsibilities and biographic solutions become a substitute for systemic change. As the worldly space of criticism is undercut …
