"Fearless Speech in Fearful Times: An Essay Review of _Capitalists and Conquerors_, _Teaching against Global Capitalism and the New Imperialism_, and _Teaching Peter McLaren_" by David Gabbard and Karen Anijar Appleton <http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/agm301005.html>
In this review, Gabbard and Anijar Appleton say that Peter McLaren, in his life and pedagogy, embodies what Cornel West describes as "three crucial traditions [that] fuel deep democratic energies: the Socratic commitment to questioning, the prophetic commitment to justice, and the tragicomic commitment to hope."
So does Michael Yates, which is well illustrated in this funny and hopeful vignette: "Revelation," <http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/yates291005.html>.
More vignettes by Yates will be coming soon!
