摘要

尽管不同地区的疫情强度和紧迫性不同,但世界目前正在应对持续的COVID-19大流行。随着数百万人感染了这种病毒并因此丧生,我们的社会话语发生了变化。我们与他人互动(或不互动)的方式已经改变。我们工作和上学的地点、方式和方式都发生了变化。在阅读亨利·吉鲁的《种族、政治和流行病教学法:危机时期的教育》时,我感到很惊讶。从更大的角度来看,吉鲁认为社会基金会并没有真正改变,但他们需要改变。尽管这本书是在新冠肺炎大流行期间写的,并且重点关注教育,但这本书并不是关于与正在进行的病毒斗争本身的教育。相反,吉鲁将COVID-19作为一个起点,这一现象突显了新自由主义根深蒂固的系统性流行所助长的社会不平等和暴力。他在详细讨论的序言中说,“这场流行病危机……远远超过了一场医疗危机。”其核心是政治危机和意识形态危机”(第16页)。他认为,新自由主义在为人们创造攀登社会经济阶梯的机会的幌子下,使资本主义剥削和种族主义永续存在。更具体地说,对于吉鲁所关注的美国背景,他认为美国前总统特朗普在他的政治角色中体现了法西斯新自由主义的兴起。委婉地说,吉鲁不是特朗普的粉丝。他回忆了特朗普的许多有害言论和行为,并指出这些言论和行为在美国政治背景下是被允许的,甚至是具有代表性的。这些回忆旨在举例说明新自由主义是如何实施的,这是一种有效的策略,但有可能使非美国读者将突出的种族主义、贫困和性别歧视视为美国在那里发生的问题。值得庆幸的是,除了抨击特朗普,吉鲁还分享了适用于全球受众的重要信息,即现代州政府如何通过他所谓的“流行病教学法”来维持新自由主义。1029755 tre0010.1177 /14778785211029755教育理论与研究书评书评

Book review: Henry A. Giroux, Race, Politics, and Pandemic Pedagogy: Education in a Time of Crisis
Although at different intensities and urgencies in different places, the world is currently navigating the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As millions of people have contracted the virus and lost their lives to it, our societal discourse has changed. The way we interact (or not) with others has changed. Where, how, and if we work and go to school has changed. I was surprised in reading Henry A. Giroux’s Race, Politics, and Pandemic Pedagogy: Education in a Time of Crisis. In the bigger picture, Giroux suggests that societal foundations have not really changed, but they need to. Despite being written in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and having a focus on education, this book is not about education in relation to the ongoing battle with the virus per se. Rather, Giroux uses COVID-19 as a jumping-off point, a phenomenon that highlights societal inequalities and violence fostered by the entrenched systemic pandemic of neoliberalism. He prefaces his detailed discussion by stating that ‘the pandemic crisis [. . .] is much more than a medical crisis. At its core, it is both a political and ideological crisis’ (p. xvi). He argues that neoliberalism perpetuates capitalist exploitation and racism under the guise of creating opportunities for people to climb the socioeconomic ladder. More specifically for the American context that Giroux focuses on, he suggests that former US President Trump embodied in his political role the rise of fascist neoliberalism. To put it mildly, Giroux is not a Trump fan. He recalls a great many of Trump’s harmful statements and actions, and shows them as permitted within and even representative of the American political context. These recollections are meant to exemplify how neoliberalism is enacted, and it is an effective tactic but runs the risk of enabling non-American readers to view the highlighted racism, poverty, and sexism as only American problems happening over there. Thankfully, beyond railing against Trump, Giroux shares important messages applicable to global audiences about the ways modern state governments maintain neoliberalism through what he calls ‘pandemic pedagogy’. 1029755 TRE0010.1177/14778785211029755Theory and Research in EducationBook reviews book-review2021
