Drawing on the theoretical resources of Activity Theory, Gramsci, Freire and others, it investigates the key features of workers' education as a form of pedagogy with a unique history and logic of practice, and explores how it has been shaped by its location within labour and other social movements as well as its 'southern' location within the global political economy. Successive chapters explore its counter-hegemonic but contested purposes, its knowledge practices that seek to overcome the historical divide between intellectual and manual labour, and a pedagogy which often assumes didactic forms but which retains a democratic character through its embeddedness in working class experience. It illustrates the rich processes of experiential learning that happen through day-to-day organising, in workers' cultural activity as well as through mass action. It argues that this tradition of workers' education currently stands at a crossroads, as global neoliberal market policies and post-apartheid education and training policies threaten to undermine its radical social vision, and concludes by offering ideas on how this tradition of radical workers' education might be renewed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Working class $x Education $z South Africa $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Adult education $z South Africa $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Working class $x History $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor movement $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Radicalization $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Apartheid $x Economic aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Education $x Political aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Educational sociology $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Adult education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797275 650 7 $a Apartheid $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00811114 650 7 $a Education $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902728 650 7 $a Educational sociology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903596 650 7 $a Labor movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990079 650 7 $a Radicalization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01941179 650 7 $a Working class $x Education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180443 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cooper, Linda, 1953- $t Workers' education in the global south $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill Sense, [2020] $z 9789004428980 $w (DLC) 2020009935 830 0 $a Knowledge economy and education ; $v v. 11. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDFC3648AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
