Masturbatory Dreams of Education for Ameliorating “X”: Power and Privilege to Professional Educators Increased Madhu Suri Prakash, Dana L. Stuchul*

The greatest radical thinker of the 20th century, Ivan Illich, wrote the archaeology of all the modern professions. This began with his exegesis of the educational enterprise in Deschooling Society which few understood and most dismissed. To understand Illich’s 21st century relevance, “Masturbatory Dreams” is one piercing entry into his reflections post-Deschooling Society. It’s time, past time, we believe, to begin again the conversation about dreams. About the dreams for a world—in the words of the Zapatistas, “the many worlds”—our hearts know to be possible. Dreams, not delusions, not utopias, but visions toward which our lives could strive. It’s our dreams we owe ourselves. Our dreams we owe our children.
