« 'Teaching Peter McLaren' is provocative, thorough, timely, engaging, challenging, reflective, critical, outstanding, unique, witty, and above all, a superb and needed contribution to the understanding of one of the most influential pedagogues of our times. In this book, Marc Pruyn and Luis Huerta-Charles put together the most comprehensive collection of articles addressing the contributions, changes, contradictions, influences, background, and potential of the ideas and praxis of a revolutionary scholar who has been a very creative, forceful, and brave voice for more than 30 years - Peter McLaren. This is the book that those who are passionate and committed to the creation of a better society and the urgent need to re-invent schooling as a space for social change and meaningful learning are waiting to read.
