Abstract
Can hope audaciously trump neoliberalism?, Paul R. Carr and Brad J. Porfilio bring together some of the most well-respected transformative scholars and practitioners in order to provide a critical examination of the Obama administration’s educational agenda. The volume aims to go beyond the rhetoric generated by the mass media, political pundits, and large-scale corporations that suggests that neoliberal educational policies will ameliorate schools, a failing economy, and the social ills plaguing US society.
