Synopses & Reviews This book examines the relationship between democracy and schooling and argues that schools are one of the few spheres left where youth can learn the knowledge and skills necessary to become engaged, critical citizens. Not only is the legacy of democracy addressed through the work of John Dewey and others, but the democratic possibilities of schooling are analyzed through a range of issues extending from the politics of teacher authority to the importance of student voices. These issues have only become more vital in an era of neoliberalism and 'smaller government', as Giroux discusses at length in this new updated edition.
When Giroux (McMasters U.) wrote the first edition in the late 1980s,
he could already see that the US government and popular will were
shifting to the ideological Right. The situation is much worse now,
he says, with the government in the grip of Christian
fundamentalists, market fundamentalists, and neoconservative war
mongers. He updates and revises his argument that schools are one of
the few spheres left where young people can learn the knowledge and
skills necessary to become engaged and critical citizens able to
restore democracy.
