Through the elegance of Henry Giroux’s analysis, the political nature of educational practice is forthrightly unveiled, a democratic vision of education as a public sphere renewed, and the power of teachers who dare to teach “on the edge of possibilities” voiced with courage, hope, and dignity.<b></b>
