In the tradition of Paulo Freire, critical pedagogy needs reinventing and this is exactly what Rossatto, Allen, and Pruyn have accomplished. This breakthrough collection of intellectuals and their work remind readers what drew them to critical pedagogy in the first place: its spirit of critical self-reflection. Critical pedagogy will never be the same again. -- Zeus Leonardo, Editor of Critical Pedagogy and Race, California State University, Long Beach Unlike many compilations resulting from conferences or professional meetings, this text is very carefully edited and expands the boundaries of critical theory in interesting, important ways. The book is divided into three sections; the first focusing on race and ethnicity, the second on theoretical concerns, and the third on applications of critical theory constructs to various disciplines. This final section is extremely important in pushing the study of critical theory into largely uncharted waters and undertheorized areas of scholarship. One of the most interesting and stimulating chapters focuses on the relationship between mathematics and the application of critical theory principles and ideas. Another excellent chapter focuses on issues of critical theory applied to environmental science. Highly recommended. * CHOICE * This book is a long overdue and important contribution to the field of critical pedagogy. Moreover, the mix of new and established scholars and diversity of topics makes this an ideal text for classroom use. Reinventing Critical Pedagogy is destined to invoke dialogue, controversy, and contested conversations, not only helping to reinvent critical pedagogy but also to reignite it! -- Sandy Grande, Connecticut College
