Schooling the Flesh

From internationally-renowned scholar Antonia Darder, Schooling in the Flesh examines the radical significance of the body to education, community work, and to to discussions of emancipatory pedagogy. Anchored in principles of historical materialism and critical pedagogical analysis this books uncovers new ways to reconsider the hidden curriculum of capitalist hegemony and to reinvent their practices in schools and communities. Taking a particular focus on disenfranchised student, Darder argues that the body constitutes an undertheorized yet essential dimension in the development of critically democratic school reform and a liberating pedagogy for the schooling of urban youth today.
