Those who are in shock that truth doesnt seem to matter in politics miss the mark: politics has never corresponded with the truth. Rather, political struggle is about the formulation and materialization of new truths. The post-truth era thus offers an important opportunity to push forward into a different world. Embracing this opportunity, Derek R. Ford articulates a new educational philosophy and praxis that emerges from within the nexus of social theory and political struggle. Blocking together aesthetics, queer theory, urbanism, postmodern philosophy, and radical politics, Ford develops arguments and proposals on key topics ranging from debt and time, to the death drive and forms of political organization. Through forceful yet accessible prose, Ford offers contemporary left politics an imaginative and potent set of educational concepts and practices.

An essential read for anyone who believes that educational theory has something important to offer in todays post-truth society ... One of the most rewarding things about Fords book is that he clearly shows that we cannot leave problems of education, learning and pedagogy to schools of education. * Postdigital Science and Education * A remarkable achievement of Ford's book is its commitment, as mentioned earlier, to praxis, and its insistence on digging pathways from theory to its present and potential manifestations in lived practices. * Kairos: Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy * An unusually moving book, strangely inspiring and motivating even as it challenges us to excavate and overturn our understandings of how pedagogy and politics are interlinked. Fords voice is persuasive and clear, ultimately inviting readers into an engaged reassessment of our fraught contemporary moment, where the classroom and the street are shown to be a Mbius strip. * Christopher Schaberg, Dorothy Harrell Brown Distinguished Professor of English, Loyola University New Orleans, USA * As an academic, I have been waiting for a clear map of the collusion between liberal democracy and the marketplace of ideas. Combining a careful, nuanced reading of Lyotard with an innovative deployment of work by Jodi Dean and Lee Edelman, Ford shows nothing less than that the world can no longer afford to leave problems of pedagogy to schools of education. The relationship between politics and education emerges here as the central problem of the times. This book not only calls for intervention, but actually provides one. * Margret Grebowicz, Professor, School of Advanced Studies, University of Tyumen, Russian Federation *
