McLaren and Farahmandpur -Contra-Band Pedagogy
With the precision of a surgeon, the vision of a sage, the passion of a teacher, and the cynicism of a philosopher, McLaren and Farahmandpur examine globalization, Imperialism, Marxism, and teaching policy through well researched past, a brilliant handle on a present, and a passionate call for a future of critical revolutionary pedagogy.

McLaren and Farahmandpur address an audience ranging from theorists to elementary school teachers; thus the appropriate use of language and sentence structure. In addition, the subtle sense of humor, entwined with a rich content, make this book a must read. I give it five stars
