This book explores the relationship between capitalism and coloniality in society and education.
Noah De Lissovoy is Professor of Cultural Studies in Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Texas at Austin, USA. He is the author of Education and Emancipation in the Neoliberal Era (2015), Power, Crisis, and Education for Liberation (2008), co-author of Toward a New Common School Movement (2015) and the editor of Marxisms and Education (2018).
Not only is Noah De Lissovoy’s recent publication of Capitalism,
Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being elegantly unraveled and
powerfully crafted, it establishes a much-needed space from the
intertwined promises and limitations of critical pedagogy,
neoliberal discourse, and Marxist theory... This is a book that I
have already returned to time and time again, sitting in pause with
its words, sentences, and sections and noting in its margins the
many themes and theories that speak to the complexity of our
current moment... his making of an anti-capitalist curriculum is a
pillar upon which new forms of collectivity and relationality will
certainly build.

Building on the literature around racial capitalism, the book
offers fresh insights on the possibility of viewing the
pervasiveness of neoliberalism, and capitalism in a racial light;
one which attempts to challenge the very foundation of these
deep-seated ideologies that are weighing down on an expanding
society and a rapidly degrading ecosystem.

De Lissovoy authoritatively but lovingly takes the field of
critical pedagogy by its nape, carrying it forward into the present
moment. Writing against the neoliberal mantra of there is no
alternative, he produces a cogently argued mapping of how to
reclaim a critical, democratic pedagogy through the power,
struggles, and “discomforts” of collectivity and relationality.
This is precisely the revolution we need.

In Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being, De Lissovoy
shows us why he is one of education’s sharpest thinkers at the
crossroads of culture, critical theory, and critique of capitalism.
In this book, he works through the intricate relationships between
coloniality, advanced neoliberalism, and critical pedagogy in order
to point us toward a truly radical, anti-capitalist curriculum.

Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being stands apart from
other projects in education, sociology and radical philosophy. De
Lissovoy uniquely synthesizes traditions associated with Marxism
and decolonial theory and constructs a new pedagogical imagination
rooted in love, difference, and freedom. A vital intervention from
one of the most important intellectuals writing in the Freirean
tradition today.
