Knowledge Ideology Reproduction

<p><strong>The</strong><strong> first book-length examination of the theses developed by Louis Althusser and his collaborators on the processes of class-based educational formation and the function of schools.</strong></p><br/><p>Drawing largely on unpublished writings that have been overlooked by scholars of both Althusser and critical pedagogy, <em>Knowledge, Ideology, Reproduction </em>reveals that, for Althusser and the <em>Groupe Spinoza</em>, educational formation and the position of knowledge are central, decisive issues in understanding the real forces driving the mechanisms of social reproduction. This perspective enables a critical interrogation of knowledge transmission and opens up new possibilities for transformative educational practices.</p>
