Description: To understand contemporary times we must appreciate the diverse and subtle ways in which our everyday lives are invested in and punctuated by the cultural and political struggle between 'official' narratives and distinctive counternarratives which emerge as oppositional responses to them. In Counternarratives Henry Giroux, Colin Lankshear, Peter McLaren, and Michael Peters offer a forceful critical application of postmodern theory to education and cultural studies; they develop a unique concept of 'postmodern counternarratives' as a framework for exploring the politics of media, technology, and education within the everyday struggles for human identities and loyalties.
