Merujuk pada penelitian tindakan kelas berbasis partisipasi kritis di kelas sekolah menengah atas di Amerika Serikat, artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran kolaboratif dalam pendidikan matematika kritis merupakan alternatif yang koheren terhadap pendekatan neo-liberal dalam pembelajaran kolaboratif untuk mendorong partisipasi demokratis berbasis keadilan.

The article analyzes impacts of critical race theory on education as well as the daily life of citizens. The article argues that from 1980 onward, the anti-racist movement in the U.S. lost its revolutionary vision and became domesticated. The article concludes that critical race
theory is not revolutionary but a petit bourgeois standpoint.

The article investigates ways in which educators can make small openings to practice critical pedagogy in STEM classes and concludes that the current STEM education movement is a neoliberal project: it is exploitative and oppressive. Critical pedagogy can be an effective approach to counter the current STEM education.

The original contribution of the research is that despite obstructive implications of market-driven changes, a practice of mathematics education to promote critical citizenship can be implemented through open-ended projects that resonate with inquiry-based collaborative learning and dialogic pedagogy.

Neoliberalism aims to privatise and redefine public education to satisfy the needs of the labour market; it imposes a standardised and ‘teacher-proof’ curriculum, which is considered by many to reduce the quality of
education to meet the goal of improving test scores. On a broad conceptualisation, its influence has replaced the idea of the citizen with that of the consumer. Some research has suggested that this market-driven process strips public education of its potential to help students develop the skills, attitudes, and values needed to become
critical citizens. Given this climate, the present research offers a case study. Drawing on a critical participatory action research approach, it investigates how critical mathematics education (CME) responds to the tension between the needs of a neoliberal system and the needs of students to fulfil their potential as citizens and as
human beings.
The original contribution of this dissertation is that despite obstructive
implications of market-driven changes, a practice of CME to promote critical citizenship can be implemented through open-ended projects that resonate with inquiry-based collaborative learning and dialogic pedagogy. This practice necessitates
transforming the classroom into a community of mathematics learners to democratise classroom life and create opportunities to promote participatory and social justice–based citizenship. The study also identified two main limitations of CME resulting
from: (a) being a counterhegemonic practice enacted within an educational a (neoliberal) system, while simultaneously criticizing that same system; and (b) a lack of adequate learning materials and professional support to enact a CME program.

Based on the Preface, the book was written to answer the question, "How might we empower students to use mathematics to explore, understand, and respond to social justice?" As a math educator and researcher whose teaching and research mainly focus on critical mathematics education, what follows is something more than a brief book review. The matter is close to my heart.
