“…Most of the reviewed articles were not relevant to the purposes of this review. These were placed in a category termed “generic resistance” or in a category termed “incidental citation of Willis.” Examples of generic uses of resistance include both casual uses of the word resistance , such as resistance to desegregation (Til, 1959), as well as unrelated theoretical or scientific concepts containing resistance in their names, such as skin resistance (Tryon, 1980), resistance to extinction (Barringer & Gholson, 1979), resistance to therapy (Peters & Wattenberg, 1966), or resistance to infection (Rugen, 1940). These articles did not make reference to Willis, Bowles and Gintis, or the related literature.…”

This article examines the origins, influence, and contemporary understandings of class-based theories of student resistance in education, contributing to or emerging from Learning to Labor by Paul Willis. It reports the results of a review of the literature that discusses class-based student resistance and cites the seminal book. More than 500 published articles were reviewed, in addition to books and book chapters. This review reveals misconceptions in the literature that have developed around both the book and its theory. These misconceptions include the belief that the resistance theory described by Willis was original and that it was a drastic departure from reproduction theory, or at least correspondence theories like those of Bowles and Gintis, and that the resistance theory attributed to Willis, one of the most influential theories in contemporary critical scholarship in education, is the same theory that Willis himself describes. These misconceptions, and the failure to acknowledge them, raise questions about both the validity of resistance theory and the ability of the critical education community, collectively, to engage with unwelcome evidence, to refine, and to evolve.
