Herbert Marcuse as Social Justice Educator: A Critical Introduction [Paperback]

Demonstrating the continued relevance of Marcuses work, Herbert Marcuse as Social Justice Educator details how his work remains a countervailing force to the conventional wisdom in intellectual and political matters today.

Reitz presents Marcuse anew as a social justice educator. The volume raises the profile of critical political economy and critical pedagogy in Marcuse studies. It explicates the theoretical foundations of Marcuse's radical socialist humanism. Critical pedagogy now benefits from a re-evaluation of Marcuses works, especially what I call 'revolutionary critical pedagogy.'

Peter McLaren, Professor Emeritus at the School of Education and Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles

There are no other books that do with Marcuse what this book does in a comprehensive way, providing a coherent presentation of the work of Marcuse and its wide relevance to a number of topics. The social conditions of our times politically, economically, and culturally warrant the rediscovery of Marcuses work and most especially, its ongoing implications for the conditions of our timeand Charles Reitz is absolutely the right scholar to lead the way.

Lauren Langman, Professor of Sociology, Loyola University, Chicago
