Globalization in the past decades, as an unavoidable historical phenomenon, has increased the interdependence and communication in the world, while causing serious conflicts between and in different countries, areas and races at the same time. Peter McLaren and Ramin Farahmandpur made significant contributions in their book not only to Critical Pedagogy that intends to raise learners’ critical consciousness for the struggle to challenge and transform oppressive social conditions in order to create a more egalitarian society, but also to a new globalization theory that intends to help the conscious people who strive for the struggle to gain global justice and world peace.
