Blood in their Mouths: Lies, Violence, and Fascist Politics
Neoliberal Fascism as the Endpoint of Casino Capitalism
This article explores neoliberal fascism as a distinctive political formation within the current historical moment. In doing so, it first analyzes neoliberalism as a project that has since the 1970s destroyed all the commanding institutions of democracy while consolidating power in the hands of a financial elite. In addition, it analyzes neoliberalism as a movement, that produces and legitimates massive economic inequality and suffering, privatiz…
The Plague of White Supremacy in the Age of Fascist Politics
The toxic thrust of white supremacy runs through American culture like an electric current. Without apology,Jim Crow is back suffocating American society in a wave of voter suppression laws, ongoing attempts by rightwing politicians to implement a form of apartheid pedagogy, and the resurgence of a right-wing cultural politics organized around the legacy of white nationalism and white supremacy. The emergence of white supremacy to the centers of …
Cultural Politics and the Crisis of Education and Political Agency
Paulo Freire’s legacy and critical pedagogy in dark times
This article explores the enduring relevance of Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy at a historical moment marked by rising authoritarianism and attacks on education as a critical and democratizing project. Freire’s philosophy, grounded in the belief that education is inherently political, emphasizes the role of theory, critical consciousness, and pedagogy as the practice of freedom in fostering a just and democratic society. Central to his vision i…

A Time for Hope in Dark Times
This article explores the political importance of embracing a notion of hope in a time of growing authoritarianism across the globe. It defines hope as the ability to both mobilize what might be called a democratic imaginary and a notion of hope rooted in a realistic assessment of what it means to engage in forms of struggle for economic and social justice, both pedagogically and politically. We argue that hope is the bases for agency and that wi…
Pedagogy, Civil Rights, and the Project of Insurrectional Democracy
Punição da juventude e violência distópica: Um desafio para professores na era do neoliberalismo globalizado
Com a ascensão do fundamentalismo de mercado e o consequente colapso econômico e financeiro, a juventude de minorias pobres não são mais vistos como um investimento social, mas cada vez mais interpretados como um problema e um ônus social. Apanhados num poderoso complexo de controle de crime, a juventude é vista cada vez mais como mercadoria ou se vê submetida aos ditames de um sistema de justiça criminal em constante expansão. Ao ver seus protes…

Obama's Dilemma: Postpartisan Politics and the Crisis of American Education
In this essay, Henry Giroux frames the election of Barack Obama as an opportunity to shed the outdated neoliberal perspectives of previous presidential administrations and to recreate democracy and education for this new age.

War Talk, the Death of the Social, and Disappearing Children: Remembering the Other War
The war against terrorism is part and parcel of the war against democracy at home. This article argues that the war with Iraq will change the way the United States relates to the rest of the world as well as how it addresses the most pressing problems Americans face in their everyday lives. But the danger we face as a nation is not only related to the war in Iraq, it is also related to the silent war at home, especially because the Iraqi war and …
Neoliberalism and the Disappearance of the Social in Ghost World
Racial injustice and disposable youth in the age of zero tolerance
The author argues that economically, politically, and culturally the situation of youth in the U.S. is intolerable and unforgivable. Childhood has been demeaned by popular news media and no longer is regarded by society as the future of democracy. Rather, young people are increasingly isolated, treated with suspicion, and subjected to diminished rights of privacy and personal liberties. Zero-tolerance policies in communities and schools amount to…
Neoliberalism, Corporate Culture, and the Promise of Higher Education: The University as a Democratic Public Sphere
In this article, Henry Giroux addresses the corrosive effects of corporate culture on the academy and recent attempts by faculty and students to resist the corporatization of higher education. Giroux argues that neoliberalism is the most dangerous ideology of the current historical moment. He shows that civic discourse has given way to the language of commercialization, privatization, and deregulation and that, within the language and images of c…

Teacher Education and the Politics of Engagement: The Case for Democratic Schooling
Henry A. Giroux and Peter McLaren argue that many of the recently recommended public-school reforms either sidestep or abandon the principles underlying education for a democratic citizenry developed by John Dewey and others in the early part of this century. Yet, Giroux and McLaren believe that this historical precedent suggests a way of reconceptualizing teaching and public schooling which revives the values of democratic citizenship and social…

Border Crossings: Cultural Workers and the Politics of Education
Theories of Reproduction and Resistance in the New Sociology of Education: A Critical Analysis
In the past ten years radical educators have developed several theories around the notions of reproduction and resistance. In this article, Henry Giroux critically analyzes the major positions of these theories, finding them inadequate as a foundation for a critical science of schooling. He concludes by outlining the directions for a new theory of resistance and schooling which contains an understanding of how power, resistance, and human agency …
Theory and Resistance in Education: A Pedagogy for the Opposition
Henry Giroux's latest book, Theory and Resistance in Education, marks a significant moment in the development of a radical theory of education. Giroux advances comprehensive and convincing critiques of the existing structuralist and marxist reproductionist work in the area, while simultaneously combining the best of these theories with his own dialectical approach to produce an important new vector in the field of inquiry. Giroux works within a p…
