The Selected Works of Antonia Darder traces the literary evolution of one of the foremost radical thinkers of our time. It introduces readers to Darder's earliest scholarship beginning in the late 1980s to publications from recent years. Her scholarship has ventured into critical pedagogy, cultural studies, sociolinguistics, liberation theology, issues of the body, racism, political economy, decolonizing interpretive research, and decolonial thought, among many other areas of inquiry.
Darder is informed by a deep personal history of struggle as well as scholarly rigor; her expressed focus on social justice and economic democracy is grounded in her material and ideological readings of the world. In this definitive compilation, Darder asks us-as Paulo Freire did before her-to reinvent ourselves, as we seek to understand and engage with issues of human sufferings and differences. The volume includes a preface and introduction from the editors, an epilogue written by Darder, a foreword written by Gilda L. Ochoa and an afterword by Joao M. Paraskeva.Author Biography
