Abstract:
Neoliberal education policies have privatized, marketized, decentralized,controlled and surveilled, managed according to the business and control principles of new public managerialism, attacked the rights and conditions of education workers, and resulted in a loss of democracy, critique and equality of access and outcome. This book, written by an impressive international array of scholars and activists, explores the mechanisms and ideologies
behind neoliberal education, while evaluating and promoting resistance on a local, national and global level.
Chapters examine the activities and impacts of the arguably socialist revolution in Venezuela, the Porto Alegre democratic community experimental model in Brazil, the activities of the Rouge Forum of democratic
socialist teachers and educators in the USA, Public Service International, resistance movements against the GATS(General Agreement on Trade in Services), and trade union and social movement and community/parental opposition to neoliberal education policies in Britain and in Latin America.
