Renewing Workers' Education

de Linda Cooper, Sheri Hamilton

"Renewing workers' education focuses on educational methods created by workers for workers. It extends beyond trade unions to include a range of educational initiatives aimed at the working class including working class women, casual and informal sector workers, migrant workers, and workers' political parties. This book fills a gap in the South African literature on workers' education and documents the recent history as well as current practices and perspectives, including some international experiences. It explores conceptual tools that may assist in reflecting on and theorising the practice of workers' education and analyses current challenges. This captivating book also seeks to inform future policy and practices on workers' education and is key for those who wish to reinvigorate and contribute to building an alternative future for workers' education." --Back cover.
