Summary

Mike Cole and Sara Motta explore the role of radical education in constructing twenty-first century socialism in Latin America, focusing on Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, and Mexico. Following an introduction which overviews the essential differences between twentieth- and twenty-first-century socialism, the first part of the book examines both education initiated by the state and the formal education system of each country. The second part consists of case studies of informal radical education experiments initiated by socialist organic intellectuals.
