Description:
Henry A. Giroux looks at the way corporate culture is encroaching on the lives of children by exploring three myths prevalent in our society: that the triumph of democracy is related to the triumph of the market; that children are unaffected by power and politics; that teaching and learning are no longer linked to improving the world. Looking at childhood beauty pageants, school shootings, and the relentlessly nihilistic chic of advertising, Giroux paints a disturbing picture of a world where young people are consumers first, and children later.
