Booknews
Refusing to join the dirge over US public education, Kanpol (education, St. Joseph's U., Phila, PA) combines case studies, personal narratives, and lesson plans in applying critical theory to frame school as a still open-to-possibility democratic public sphere. The author confronts criticism of the inaccessibility of the field's language; the tensions of meaning in teachers' lives, and in and between disciplines and cultures; as well as coming to terms with difference. Includes questions for discussion. A minority of material is drawn from journals over the past decade. Distributed in the US by Greenwood Press. Annotation c.
