"This generous, articulate book reveals how the economic discourse of neoliberalism misconstrues the field and the work of education. It shows what neoliberal discourse does not see, and cannot construe: what education　means, for individual persons and for societies. Against the hollow utilitarianism of much contemporary education policy, the authors make a clear and compelling case for renewing, for the 21st　century, the aspirations of progressive education to secure ‘a world worth living in’ – in which people practise practical wisdom, and the virtues of ‘respectfulness, steadfastness, grace, courage, generosity, gratitude, and a concern for social justice’."
Professor Emeritus Stephen Kemmis, Charles Sturt University.
"Mockler and Groundwater-Smith have done all of us in the education community a huge service in this timely and important book. By unpicking the pervasive and pernicious international language of ‘reform and improvement’ that now pervades policy discourse across the world, they show carefully and systematically how it undermines the very process of highly quality teaching and learning itself. Based firmly on evidence from three major English speaking jurisdictions (Australia, England and the USA) the book lays bare the hollow nature of so much contemporary educational policy. Instead it argues for a vision of education based on moral values - respectfulness, steadfastness, grace, courage, generosity, gratitude and a concern for social justice. It is a book not to be missed; essential reading for everyone with a passion for genuine education."

John Furlong, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Oxford.
"This is an important book which engages in a searing, effective critique of the current education policy conditions in the name of ‘decent schooling conditions’ characterised by a sense of humanity, dignity and wide purpose or meaning. The trap of being driven by nostalgia, something so favoured by populists, is also an important warning. I urge you to read it."
Professor Colleen McLaughlin, Director of Educational Reform, University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, UK.

»Bezaubernd … Das Zauberhafteste an diesem Bilderbuch, in dem Nancy Vo ihren inneren Sinn für eine Geschichte offenbart, ist die zusätzliche Erzählung der Fehlverhaltens eines unangepassten Kindes, dem Verbundenheit und Freundlichkeit folgen. Dieser Teil der Geschichte erfolgt nur in den Illustrationen und bleibt im Text unerwähnt. – Und so zeigt sich, wie Wunderbares unbemerkt bleiben kann, wenn nicht näher hingeschaut wird.«

This pioneering volume refocuses scholarship and activism in striking ways. The authors are as knowledgeable about feminist and gender theory as about the political dilemmas of activism. Filled with fresh, critical insights for productive alliances, the book is innovative in genre. Some chapters, inspired by postcolonial thought, offer sharp analyses of the Romani women's movement. In others, activists and scholars reflect together on their motivations and differences of position, identity and vision. Facing inward, the book courageously dissects tensions within Romani communities and among differently placed women. Facing outward, it locates Romani gender politics within European national and transnational contexts, in a regime of non-governmental organizations. 

　
Mieke Verloo, Professor of Comparative Politics and Inequality Issues, Radboud University, Nijmegen

This much needed contribution is unique in three ways at least: as a novel and specifically European contribution to anti-racist scholarship; as a very fine-tuned, empirical and exemplary contribution to political intersectionality integrating race, sex, gender, sexuality and class; and as a solid scholarly illustration of giving voice to Romani feminist activists. 

　
Huub van Baar, Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Germany, and University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands

The Romani Women’s Movement volume makes a key contribution to the field, enriching and revitalizing debates about the importance of theories and practices of structural and political intersectionality for an adequate understanding of the crucial role that the Romani women’s movement has played in the contemporary struggle for justice, equality, rights, and recognition for Romani women and men. This timely and important collection brings together a team of internationally pioneering scholars who themselves have played a vital role in the movement and who analyze its history, challenges, and prospects in the broader context of feminist, gender, Black, subaltern, and LGBTQI theories, practices, and movements.

The Romani Women's Movement

"This classic book is my favorite for couples distressed by sexual desire discrepancy. It helps them make the difficult switch from resentment and blame to becoming an intimate sexual team. The simplicity of the McCarthys’ wisdom is disarmingly accessible. I will be delighted to recommend this new, third edition to therapists and clients working collaboratively in sex and couple therapy." — Peggy J. Kleinplatz, PhD, professor of medicine and director of Sex and Couples Therapy Training at University of Ottawa, Canada.

"I was a huge fan of the first two editions of this book, and this newest edition is an even better version of the McCarthys’ gifted and skilful approach to the understanding and treatment of sexual desire problems.　 Well written, insightful, and above all practical, this is a book all couples experiencing strains in their sexual relationship will find comforting and enlightening.　 I know of no better self-help resource than Rekindling Desire, and of no better messengers than Barry and Emily McCarthy.　 I know that I will continue to recommend this book to my patients." — Daniel N. Watter, Ed.D, past-president, The Society for Sex Therapy and Research (SSTAR)

"Once again Barry and Emily McCarthy have crafted an excellent volume that actively engages and helps the reader in a directed manner to understand and resolve sexual desire issues in their relationship. I highly recommend Rekindling Desire as both an adjunct to therapy and as a stand alone read."　— Michael A. Perelman, PhD, co-director, Human Sexuality Program and clinical professor emeritus of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian
"The McCarthys have put a career's worth of wisdom, inspiration, and practical suggestions into the updated edition of this remarkable book. If your sexual desire and couple sexual satisfaction are in good shape, this book will help you make things even better. If you are struggling with desire in today's harried and confusing environment, it will show how to have more sexual and emotional intimacy."　— William Doherty, PhD, professor, University of Minnesota and author of Take Back Your Marriage
