We have to confess the initial thoughts we had when we started to read the book Educa-tion and power written by Michel Apple. We definitely were expecting an optimistic discourse on how education could lead minorities to gain control and power over their circumstances, and therefore mobilize them from precarious contexts to a better social economic status. However, when reading it, we realized that this was not the author’s intention. Far from being optimistic or pessimistic, Apple based this book on a critical and thoughtful understand-ing of education and its relationship with society at large. He refused to accept the simplistic view of educational criticism and the “almighty” power of the hidden curriculum in a context where the school is a passive mirror of society, which simply reproduces unequal societies without any process of resistance
