Eva,

Back in the 70s Manuel Castells was mainly known as an Marxist urban
theorist who adopted an Althusserian orientation to problems of urban
spatial structure in "The Urban Question". Since that he got into analyses
of the impact of cybernetic communications on society. It's interesting to
seem him now in suc company as Paulo Freire and Henry Giroux in the book
mentioned in your forwarded message. I'd like to take a look at the 1999
"education book" but . . . What irritates me is that these neo-Marxists
publish in $60 paperbacks. This is especially annoying in the case of
Freire. Talk about reproducing the class structures of access to
information!!
