World, Class, Women

World, Class, Women begins the extraordinarily important task of bringing a postcolonial, feminist voice to critical pedagogy and, by extension explores how current debates about education could make a contribution to feminist thought. Robin Truth Goodman deftly weaves together the disciplines of literature, postcolonialism, feminism, and education in order to theorize how the shrinking of the public sphere and the rise of globalization influence access to learning, what counts as knowledge, and the possibilities of a radical feminism.

Strange Love: Or How We Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Market (Critical Perspectives Series: A Book Series Dedicated to Paulo Freire)

As Junk Bond felon Michael Milken attempts to transform public education on the model of the HMO, he is hailed in the mainstream press as having 'done more to help mankind than Mother Theresa.' Even as BP Amoco, a notorious U.S. polluter, is charged with funding and arming paramilitaries in Colombia, it freely distributes science curricula that portrays itself as a loving protector of citizens from a dangerous and 'out of control' nature. These as well as many other examples abound as Professors Robin Truth Goodman and Kenneth J. Saltman take on the corporate educators, media monopolies, and oil companies in their new book Strange Love: How We Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Market. Saltman and Goodman show how corporate-produced curricula, films, and corporate-promoted books often use depictions of family love, childhood innocence, and compassion in order to sell the public on policies that ironically put the profit of multinational corporations over the well-being of people. In doing so Goodman and Saltman reveal the extent to which globalization depends upon education and also show how battles over culture, language, and the control of information are matters of life, death, and democracy.

Cinema and the Political Imagination

Highlighting the importance of Third Cinema on twenty-first-century political filmmaking, this book examines films that have adopted Third Cinema's experimental film techniques for the purpose of political intervention.The text explores the legacy of Third Cinema on more traditional cinema, and Robin Truth Goodman examines how Third Cinema's cinematic reinvention of the image as a political springboard is still being utilized by contemporary filmmakers. In exploring the relationship between political subjectivity and cinematic practice through a variety of contemporary case studies, Goodman also looks at topics not previously examined by Third Cinema. The book focuses on the multiple internationalisms of borders and cities and treats gender as a vector through which different directions in a political field can be imagined. Finally, while linking a mid-twentieth-century tradition of filmmaking to contemporary problems of the political, the book considers the politics of representation through the representation of politics, reflecting on what makes an image political and what inspires us to identify with it.A compelling read for students and scholars interested in Third Cinema, Cinema and Politics, and Cinema and Subversion and anyone interested in exploring the connections between Third Cinema and contemporary political filmmaking.

Gender for the Warfare State (Critical Interventions)

Gender for the Warfare State is the first scholarly investigation into the written works of U.S. women combat veterans in twenty-first century wars. Most recent studies quantify military participation, showing how many women participate in armed services and what their experiences are in a traditionally “male institution.” Many of these treatments regard women as victims solely of enemy fire, even as they are also often victims of their own military apparatus and of their own involvement in global aggression. By applying literary analysis to a sociological question, Gender for the Warfare State views women’s experiences through story and literary traditions that carry meaning into present practices. Goodman shows that women in combat are not just entering and being victimized in “male institutions,” but are also actively changing the story of gender and thus the structure of power that is constructed through gender. Moreover, this book unveils a new narrative of care that affects economic relations more broadly and the contemporary politics of the liberal social contract. 
Women’s participation in combat is not just a U.S. event but global and therefore has a deeper historical range than current sociological accounts imply. The book compares the political contexts of women’s entry into war now with their prior, twentieth-century contributions to wars in other cultural settings and then uses this comparison to show a variety of meanings at play in the gender of war.
