"Theory for Education provides a concise and clear introduction to key contemporary theorists, including their lives, major works, and ideas. Written for the student in need of a quick introduction or for the scholar brushing up on details, this new volume in the theory4 series presents major thinkers whose work and ideas have shaped critical thinking in our time. Greg Dimitriadis and George Kamberelis underscore the particular relevance of these thinkers for the field of education -- their work on education, how others in education have used them, and possible future directions for teachers and researchers. The volume gives special attention to theorists of "the post" -- post-modernism, post-structuralism, and post-colonialism. Theory for Education's ease of use, clarity, and comprehensive scope will be invaluable for those entering the field."--Publisher description.
