Product Description
World, Class, Women begins the extraordinarily important task of bringing a postcolonial, feminist voice to critical pedagogy and, by extension explores how current debates about education could make a contribution to feminist thought. Robin Truth Goodman deftly weaves together the disciplines of literature, postcolonialism, feminism, and education in order to theorize how the shrinking of the public sphere and the rise of globalization influence access to learning, what counts as knowledge, and the possibilities of a radical feminism.

A Major Challenge to Feminist Education! April 3, 2004
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book powerfully challenges the central thinkers in feminist education criticizing psychoanalytic, postmodern and liberal perspectives. Part of what makes this book innovative and unique is that Goodman shows how seemingly emancipatory strains of thought affirm oppressive political ideologies and economic policies. She does so weaving literary examples with trenchant analyses of foreign and domestic policy. Deeply historical and tightly argued, this book is a must read for anyone concerned about feminism, education, and literary theory.
