This book develops a feminist pedagogy for liberatory learning for elementary school workers by contextualizing a connection among critical literacy, multiculturalism, feminist theory, and cultural democracy. This book challenges major categories of literacy, democracy, educational reform, and traditional educational theory and offers educators and cultural workers a language that allows them to create new ways of conceiving pedagogy and classroom practice and of analyzing current educational reform movements. Brady successfully constructs elements of a theory and practice of a feminist pedagogy for elementary schools by blending emancipatory feminism and a critical theory of schooling.
