«Patricia Hinchey's work in the classroom sets the stage for the ongoing development of a critical pedagogy of possibility. Dr. Hinchey does not simply talk about critical pedagogy, she puts it to work. It is one thing to write about critical pedagogy, and another to practice it. Patricia Hinchey does more than truck in abstractions, she gives flesh and bones to the search for a critical pedagogy.» (Peter McLaren, Professor, UCLA) «Patricia Hinchey has written a book that not only takes the relationship between theory and practice seriously within critical pedagogy, but is also filled with passion and hope. This book inspires and teaches and in doing so represents a wonderful example of the possibilities that critical pedagogy can offer those interested in rethinking the meaning and practice of educational theory.» (Henry A.

Giroux, Waterbury Chair of Secondary Education, Penn State University).
