Lewis is deserving of praise for his deliberate approach in representing the ideas of Ranciere and Freire as well as providing the reader with a new way of thinking about the place of the aesthetic event in education. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate and research collections. -- J. A. Helfer, Associate Professor and Chair of the Knox College Department of Educational Studies, Knox College, USA * CHOICE * In this book Tyson Lewis provides a penetrating analysis of the work of Jacques Rancičre as it pertains to the theory and practice of education. The book is an engaging, compelling, highly original and much needed intervention in current discussions about education, politics and democracy. * Gert Biesta, Professor of Educational Theory and Policy, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg * Tyson Lewis offers a remarkable cross-reading of Freire and Ranciere. His readings are subtle and his ideas are exciting. If, in their different ways, Freire and Ranciere stage alternative pedagogies, Lewis himself stages a confrontation and conversation between them that opens up the classroom to new and more democratic theatrical and political possibilities. * Todd May, Class of 1941 Memorial Professor, Clemson University, USA *
