The last half century has created deep tensions in how we analyze educational and social change. Educators, policymakers, and concerned citizens have had to cope with competing belief systems in evaluating and acting upon school policies and practices. This illuminating book untangles many of the roots of those persistent debates that have divided the nation for so long. It offers readers a critical opportunity to reflect on our continuing ideological struggles by examining popular books that have made a difference in educational discourse.
The editor has specifically selected key books on social and educational controversies that speak to wide audiences. They frame contextual issues that so-called «school reformers» have often neglected - much to the detriment of any real educational progress. Ultimately, this text is meant to stir our consciences, to disorder our certainties, and to compel us to treat education and culture with both reason and passion. It is highly relevant for courses in social foundations of education, school reform, educational policy studies, philosophy of education, history of education, politics of education, curriculum studies, and teacher education.
Industry Reviews
(Christine E. Sleeter, Professor Emerita, School of Professional Studies, California State University Monterey Bay)
«Organized chronologically, Joseph L. DeVitis's edited collection takes readers through an engaging and thoughtful fifty-year tour of educational scholarship. For the previously initiated, it represents a path worth revisiting and re-engaging. For the novice, it depicts a rich and still powerful body of scholarly inquiry. We owe DeVitis and his crew our sincere thanks.»
