Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book is not easy reading, but is valuable. It is spirited challenge to soft critiques of global capitalism among many educators. The author presents less than a full account of positions with which he disagrees, and some readers may want to balance Holst with radical pluralists' and socialists' own accounts of social movement theory. The bibliographic entries on social movements and civil society and adult education's treatment of these subjects are valuable, and overall this is a well-written and timely book.”–Noel Keough, University of Calgary, Canada
“[A] unique and provocative perspective on education in America....well researched and carefully argued.”–Controversia

Book Description
Analyzes the history and status of social movement and civil society theory within radical adult education and the Left. Challenging `civil societarianism' the author argues for a reconceptualization of Gramsci's use of civil society arguing that Gramsci did not advocate building civil society but proletarian hegemony.
