Rebels with Our Applause? A Critique of Resistance Theory in Paul Willis's Ethnography of Schooling.
Walker, James C.
Journal of Education, v167 n2 p63-83 1985
Resistance theory draws attention to the existence of conflict and antagonism in schools and in pupils' resistance to schools' authority and ideology. In "Learning to Labor," Paul Willis unduly romanticizes resistant practices by the subjects of his ethnography. An alternative view of resistance permits a more socially and historically relevant evaluation of nonconformity. (GC)
