Capitalists and Conquerors is a series of path-breaking essays in the political sociology of education on topics hotly debated within the educational community. In this volume Peter McLaren addresses some of the most daunting political challenges of the current times, including the globalization of capitalism, the United States' drive towards world domination, strategies, tactics and models of resistance to neoliberalism and the ravages of empire-building, the role of the educator as a social agent and public citizen, the purposes and possibilities of public schooling, and the struggle for socialism. As a Marxist-humanist philosopher and social theorist, McLaren is able to offer new philosophical premises and socialist principles for building an alternative to capitalism. The passion, poetry and fierce political conviction for which McLaren is known is very much present in this volume.

A renowned Marxist-humanist philosopher and social theorist, and one of the architects of the field that has come to be known internationally as critical pedagogy, Peter McLaren is one of the most influential and respected educationalists in the world today. A professor of urban education at the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles, he is the author and editor of over forty books that have been translated into fifteen languages.
