This work analyzes the nature of educational pedagogy in the contemporary capitalist world-system under American hegemony.

Two specific case studies, one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom, are utilized to demonstrate how contemporary educational emphasis on language and literacy parallels the organization of work and contributes to the debate on academic underachievement of black students vis-a-vis their white and Asian counterparts"-- Enlace de acceso : https://elibro-net.biblioproxy.umanizales.edu.co/es/lc/umanizales/titulos/133399 Language, literacy, and pedagogy in postindustrial societies : the case of black academic underachievement [documento electrónico] / Mocombe, Paul ; Tomlin, Carol . - Taylor & Francis Group, 2013 . - 1 online resource (196 pages) : : illustration.
