Isi artikel

Since the mid 1970s, radical analysis of formal educational institutions has become dominated by a form of academic Marxism or neo-Marxism epitomised in the published work of Apple, Willis, Whitty and Giroux, among others. Such work usually includes `Monday morning chapters' which seek to answer the question : What is to be done? The authors subject this form of theorising to a fundamental critique, seeing it as the product of the forms and processes of bourgeois academia and bourgeois publishing houses. Instead of a self-interested search for a revolutionary agency located in academia, the authors advocate a much greater concern with the specificities of the class struggle and the question of revolutionary practice. They conclude with a discussion of the misreading of Willis's Learning to Labour to illustrate the need for a return to the revolutionary socialist tradition as the basis for a reorientation of Marxist educational theory.
