“…Even though they may have different permutations, but their rallying point is their critique of various forms of hegemony characterizing different spheres of society, of which dominant ideologies are but one example (Cherryholmes, 1988;Habermas, 1984;Hoy & McCarthy, 1994;Makgato et al, 2015;McCarthy, 1978;Poster, 1989;Thompson, 1984). Such theories include those that critique critical theory itself (see for example, Bassey, 2007;Makgato et al, 2015;Rabaka, 2009). Similarly, critical pedagogies draw on critical theory even though they have a specific orientation to critical education (Giroux, 1983(Giroux, , 1992Mayo, 1995;Shor, 1999) or a specific orientation to critical literacy (Freire, 1970;Gee, 1996;Janks, 2014;Ko, 2013;Lankshear & Knobel, 2007;Lankshear & McLaren, 1993;Mayo, 1995;Pahl & Rowsell, 2011;Wood & Jocius, 2013).…”
