Re: [xmca] Jones on Learning under capitalism
*Hi Everyone,*
*Don't forget this from Peter Smagorinsky (See below).*

*Robert Lake*
In case anyone's interested, I coauthored a book chapter on Freire and
Vygotsky. In my view, they're a hard pair to match, as we outline in the
chapter. I don't have the final pdf but am attaching the last version I
have of the manuscript during editing.
The reference:
Souto-Manning, M., & Smagorinsky, P. (2010). Freire, Vygotsky, and social
justice theories in English education. In sj Miller & D. Kirkland (Eds.),
Change matters: Critical essays on moving social justice research from
theory to policy (pp. 41-51). New York: Peter Lang.
