OUTLINE:
Emerging from a Marxist perspective, this
book focuses on the importance of social class and the role of education
broadly in relation to the possibility of revolutionary change in Sweden and
beyond. Critically tracing the celebrated so-called ‘Swedish model’ from its
inception to its current neoliberalisation, Maisuria explores the contours of
class as part of social democratic history, culture and education, especially
against the alternatives of communism and fascism. Presenting empirical research
on class consciousness within a higher education context, Maisuria analyses
student testimonies on their perceptions of social democracy and ‘Swedishness’
with ethno-racial dynamics, which is subjected to a Gramscian and Critical
Realist derived explanatory critique for social transformation
