In \u003cem\u003eOccupying Schools, Occupying Land\u003c\/em\u003e, Rebecca Tarlau explores how MST activists have pressured municipalities, states, and the federal government to implement their educational program in public schools and universities. Drawing on twenty months of ethnographic field work, Tarlau documents how the MST operates in different regions. She argues that activists are most effective using contentious co-governance, combining disruption and public protest with institutional pressure to defend and further their goals. Through an examination of the potentials, constraints, failures, and contradictions of the MST's educational struggle, this book offers insights into the relationship between education and social change, social movements and states, and the barriers and possibilities for similar reforms in democratic contexts throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Tarlau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197584349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197584347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.29w x 1.00d","brand":"Rebecca Tarlau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994632585471,"sku":"9780197584347","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c7263b3-732e-4456-890f-a7dd2e0e29d4.jpg?v=1683331299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/occupying-schools-occupying-land-rebecca-tarlau-9780197584347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
