Front Cover
Between the Lines, 2014 - Education - 240 pages
"Neoliberalism's War on Higher Education" reveals how neoliberal policies, practices, and modes of material and symbolic violence have radically reshaped the mission and practice of higher education, short-changing a generation of young people.
Giroux exposes the corporate forces at play and charts a clear-minded and inspired course of action out of the shadows of market-driven education policy. Championing the youth around the globe who have dared to resist the bartering of their future, he calls upon public intellectuals--as well as all people concer ned about the future of democracy--to speak out and defend the university as a site of critical learning and democratic promise.
