Booknews

The first section of this volume contains six essays which critically challenge policies, discourse, and institutional practices that create the structuring of silence and then discount, through delegitimation, the voices of those excluded. The second section contains ten essays in which children and adolescents who have been expelled from the centers of their schools and the centers of the culture speak as interpreters--as political critics of the economy and schooling, and race, class, and gender relations, and also as political creators of adolescent cultures. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
