Transnational Perspectives on Culture, Policy, and Education cover

As multinational elites vie for economic and cultural dominance, neoliberal socio-economic policies are, in effect, not only reconfiguring political economies, but the ways in which culture is being produced and represented. In light of the global impact of these forms of domination, this collection of informed international scholarship examines world-hegemonic engagements with culture in all spheres of contemporary cosmopolitan life: the personal, the public, the popular, and the institutional.

«This book clearly demonstrates why it is so crucial for critical analyses to work across disciplinary and geographic borders. Its authors make crucial and insightful contributions to our understanding of cultural politics and education. Cameron McCarthy and Cathryn Teasley are to be commended for the quality of this volume.» (Michael W. Apple, University of Wisconsin, Madison)
«This timely collection speaks to the power of articulating critical cultural agency to the transnational realm in which neoliberal capitalism operates more freely and rapidly than ever. Its strikingly cross-cultural, interdisciplinary authorship tackles some of the most profoundly crucial issues facing educators, policymakers, mass media agents, and the general polities of democratic societies across the globe: issues such as how best to promote social justice ‘culturally’ in an increasingly multicultural, globalized world.» (José Gimeno Sacristán, University of Valencia, Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and School Organization)
