Download and read online ebook History and Education write by Curry Malott. This book was released on 2016. History and Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. -With unapologetic commitment to a communist future - a world beyond predation and capitalist exploitation, beyond wage slavery and national oppression - Curry Stephenson Malott takes a hard look at the twentieth century, challenges and then upends the popular cliches and comforting euphemisms constantly spun by apologists caught in the thrall of capital. In History and Education Malott promotes a pedagogy that begins with truth-telling, and proceeds to courageously name this political moment as a time of increased immiseration and proletarianization on a global scale, and of imperialism in precipitous and fatal decline. Malott's 'communist pedagogy' offers a curriculum of struggle, a way forward through the wreckage all around us. "History and Education" will open your eyes, wake you up, and likely blow your mind. But even if you debate or dispute Malott's account, you'll be starting in the right place.- (Bill Ayers, former Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago; Author of several books including "Teaching Toward Freedom" and "Public Enemy") -We live in exciting times - people are pouring into the streets to demand decent wages and a union, justice for victims of police brutality, an end to racist mass incarceration and so much more. Pedagogical theory helps organizers build these struggles into mass movements of millions. "History and Education" offers important insights for those who seek to change the world.- (Walter Smolarek, the Black Radical Organizing Collective (BROC)) -For decades the educational Left and critical pedagogues have run away from Marxism, socialism, and communism, all too often based on faulty understandings and falling prey to the deep-seated anti-communism in the academy. In "History and Education" Curry Stephenson Malott pushes back against this trend by offering us deeply Marxist thinking about the circulation of capital, socialist states, the connectivity of Marxist anti-capitalism, and a politics of race and education. In the process Malott points toward the role of education in challenging us all to become abolitionists of global capitalism.- (Wayne Au, Associate Professor in the School of Educational Studies at the University of Washington Bothell; Editor of the social justice teaching magazine "Rethinking Schools; " Co-editor of "Mapping Corporate Education Reform: Power and Policies Networks in the Neoliberal State") -Curry Stephenson Malott is a scholar committed to the global working class struggle. In this volume he fearlessly and unapologetically challenges critical pedagogy by centering the oppressed and global working class in his analysis and synthesis. What distinguishes this work in progressive education is the way in which Malott draws on important theorists and revolutionaries, most notably Harry Haywood, Karl Marx, and Vladimir Lenin, and in the process, advances radical pedagogy. In the end Malott dares to demand that the working class and oppressed deserve an educational praxis and paradigm that serves their educational needs and liberatory interests.- (Kashara White, Party for Socialism and Liberation) -Eight years after the global capitalist crisis modern societies are treading down a dangerous road. In this context Curry Stephenson Malott addresses important questions such as, what is the state and what role does it play in the revolutionary process? Do we need a Marxist theory of the state today? What has historical experience shown? What can critical approaches to education gain from Marx? In this text, Malott, with considerable clarity, scholarship, and passion contributes to the unraveling of these and other questions. Along the way, he makes crucial interventions in debates about what counts as " radical" in the academy and explores critically and insightfully the anti-communist" About the Author.

An Evening Standard's Book of the Year 'A tour de force.' David Goodhart All over the West, party systems have shattered and governments have been thrown into turmoil. The embattled establishment claims that these populist insurgencies seek to overthrow liberal democracy. The truth is no less alarming but is more complex: Western democracies are being torn apart by a new class war. In this controversial and groundbreaking analysis, Michael Lind, one of America's leading thinkers, debunks the idea that the insurgencies are primarily the result of bigotry and reveals the real battle lines. He traces how the breakdown of class compromises has left large populations in Western democracies politically adrift. We live in a globalized world that benefits elites in high income 'hubs' while suppressing the economic and social interests of those in more traditional lower-wage 'heartlands'. A bold framework for understanding the world, The New Class War argues that only a fresh class settlement can avert a never-ending cycle of clashes between oligarchs and populists - and save democracy.

Download and read online ebook Climate Change as Class War write by Matthew T. Huber. This book was released on 2022-05-10. Climate Change as Class War available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. How to build a movement to confront climate change The climate crisis is not primarily a problem of ‘believing science’ or individual ‘carbon footprints’ – it is a class problem rooted in who owns, controls and profits from material production. As such, it will take a class struggle to solve. In this ground breaking class analysis, Matthew T. Huber argues that the carbon-intensive capitalist class must be confronted for producing climate change. Yet, the narrow and unpopular roots of climate politics in the professional class is not capable of building a movement up to this challenge. For an alternative strategy, he proposes climate politics that appeals to the vast majority of society: the working class. Huber evaluates the Green New Deal as a first attempt to channel working class material and ecological interests and advocates building union power in the very energy system we need to dramatically transform. In the end, as in classical socialist movements of the early 20th Century, winning the climate struggle will need to be internationalist based on a form of planetary working class solidarity.

"This is a very important book."--Martin Wolf, Financial TimesA provocative look at how today's trade conflicts are caused by governments promoting the interests of elites at the expense of workers Longlisted for the 2020 Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award "Worth reading for [the authors'] insights into the history of trade and finance."--George Melloan, Wall Street Journal Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past thirty years. Across the world, the rich have prospered while workers can no longer afford to buy what they produce, have lost their jobs, or have been forced into higher levels of debt. In this thought-provoking challenge to mainstream views, the authors provide a cohesive narrative that shows how the class wars of rising inequality are a threat to the global economy and international peace--and what we can do about it.

Acclaim for The Global Class War ""You will never think about 'free trade' the same way after reading Jeff Faux's superb book. As Faux makes clear, the globalization debate is really about whose interests are served by global elites, and how we need to go about reclaiming a democracy that serves ordinary people. This book should transform public discourse in America."" -Robert Kuttner, founding coeditor of the American Prospect and a contributing columnist to BusinessWeek ""Jeff Faux's astonishing story of how class works will scandalize the best names in Wall Street and Washington-especially the much admired Robert Rubin, who along with other elites colluded behind the backs of ordinary citizens in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The most cynical Americans will be shocked by the sordid details. This really is an important book."" -William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism and Secrets of the Temple ""Globalization is a cover for American imperialism, but the beneficiaries are not the American people at the expense of foreigners but corporate executives at the expense of working-class and poor people wherever they may be. Jeff Faux offers a comprehensive and devastating analysis."" -Chalmers Johnson, author of The Sorrows of Empire
