Teaching Joe L. Kincheloe is one of a handful of recent books posthumously moving Kincheloe's
work further into the twenty-first century. Written and edited by Kincheloe's former students
and colleagues the book underscores the depth and breadth of his extraordinarily productive
career. In an era marked by the ruling elite's desperation as U.S. power wanes globally this
work opens up transformative ways of seeing conducive to challenging the technocratic
imperialistic purpose of the dominant forms of education. Kincheloe would surely have been
pleased to see this - among his many postformal contributions - counter-hegemonically providing
critical pedagogy with the theoretical and practical strength to contribute to the global
uprising currently challenging the imperialist project of wealth extraction and cultural
domination around the world. Teaching Joe L. Kincheloe will only gain relevance as the global
movement against authoritarianism intensifies and citizens search for new ways to better
understand their worlds and the historical development of their own identities.
