Taylor & Francis Inc Reclaiming Education for Democracy
Book SynopsisReclaiming Education for Democracy subjects the prophets and doctrines of educational neoliberalism to scrutiny in order to provide a rationale and vision for public education beyond the limits of No Child Left Behind. The authors combine a history of recent education policy with an in- depth analysis of the origins of such policy and its impact on professional educators. The public face of these policies is separated from motives rooted in politics, profit, and ideology. The book also searches for new insights in understanding the neoliberal and managerialist assault on education by examining the psychology of advocates who demonstrate a special animus toward universal public education. The manipulation of public education by No Child Left Behind is a case study in the general approach to public institutions taken by the politicians and theorists in these camps. K-12 education has been subjected to deceptive descriptive analyses, marginalization of its professional leadersTable of ContentsForewordPrefaceAcknowledgementsIntroduction, "The Changing Vision of Education in Our Democratic Society"Part I Mechanisms and Motivations of Education PolicyChapter 1, "Political Advocacy and Academic Authority: Defining Educational Inquiry and Defending Public Institutions"Chapter 2, "Policy as Propaganda: A Critical Examination of NCLB"Chapter 3, "The Cultural Psychology of the Right"Part II Distortions of the AdvocatesChapter 4, "The Myth of Scientifically Based Research"Chapter 5, "The ‘Science’ of Teacher Testing"Chapter 6, "Contested Visions of Public Schooling for a Democratic Society"Chapter 7, "Left Back: Punditry or History?"Part III Agenda for ChangeChapter 8, "A Renewed Vision of Good Teaching and Good Schools"Chapter 9, "Reclaiming Public Education in a Democratic Society"ReferencesIndex

MW - Rutgers University Press Race in the Schoolyard
Book SynopsisThis text takes the reader inside children's classrooms and reveals the lessons about race that are communicated there, both implicitly and explicitly. It examines how ideas about race and racial inequality take shape and are passed along in the classroom and schoolyard.Trade ReviewIn this pioneering ethnography in elementary schools, Lewis shows brilliantly how racism is taught and learned in the small places of everyday life. -- Joe Feagin * University of Florida and author of Racist America *A wonderful and timely book. Ethnographically rich, theoretically sophisticated, and clearly written, this book addresses the ubiquitous issue of race in all its complexity. -- MichFle Foster * author of Black Teachers on Teaching *A compelling ethnography of the racial landscape of contemporary schools. -- Barrie Thorne * author of Gender Play: Girls and Boys in School *Race in the Schoolyard is a wonderful book for social scientists studying race, education, and childhood studies. The book showcases the talents of a gifted fieldworker whose theoretically rich work sits on the cutting edge of a growing body of scholarship examining the social worlds of children. School officials, parents, and, most especially, a new generation of teachers will benefit from these lessons on race. * American Journal of Sociology *Instructors may recommend this book to students to whom the topic is surely vital and engrossing and for whom the text will be lively and engaging. * Contemporary Sociology *Lewis moves beyond traditional research methods used to examine achievement gaps and differences in test scores to look closely at the realities of schooling. I highly recommend this work for every person involved in teaching and learning. * Multicultural Review *Through eloquent case studies of three California elementary schools-a white-majority 'good' school, a mostly minority 'tough' school, and an integrated 'alternative' school-[Lewis] demonstrates that schools promote racial inequalities through their daily rituals and practices. Even the notion of a "color-blind" America-an especially popular ideal in the white school-perpetuates racism, Lewis argues, because it denies or dismisses the very real constraints that schools place on minorities. Lewis is nevertheless an optimist, insisting that schools can change ideas of race. . . . Highly recommended.

Each story is different, but the experiences and challenges are widely shared." -- Mary Ann Mason * author of Mothers on the Fast Track: How a New Generation Can Balance Families *"Each writer beautifully articulates the personal details of her own experiences. Whether working to conceal their family lives in order to maintain professional credibility, fighting with administrators for fair and flexible treatment, defiantly toting infants into the offices of their advisers, or dropping out of academia to search for different ways to combine intellect and motherhood, the contributors to Mama, PhD offer themselves up as potential role models to women wondering how to tackle these two demanding responsibilities." -- Katura Reynolds * Bitch Magazine *"An optimistic narrative of work-family balance among women with PhDs. Mama PhD gave advice about achieving a successful work-family balance in academia, presented several models of success, and left me with a more optimistic view of my chances at balancing child raising with s successful career." -- Arielle Kuperberg * Women's Studies Quarterly *"A unique and potent mixture of memoir, analysis, and advocacy. Mama PhD stands out in its ability to blend testimony, analysis, and advocacy, from a variety of perspectives. This volume raises striking questions about women's changing roles." * Feminist Teacher *"Well-written, personal, insightful and engaging, Mama, PhD gives an accurate glimpse into the feelings and conflicts that mothers in academia don't often reveal because such disclosure is felt to be unprofessional." -- Karen V.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Poststructuralism and Educational Research
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPoststructuralism and Educational Research makes an important contribution to the field of educational research. Michael A. Peters and Nicholas C. Burbules are accomplished scholars who are well-positioned to offer not only clarification but also prognostication concerning how post-structuralism will impact the nature of educational research. Their efforts will prove to be of value to anyone who is interested in the differences between intellectual movements such as modernism and postmodernism obviously along with structuralism and poststructuralism. Those who take the time to read Peters' and Burbules' important work will find themselves among those individuals who can anticipate the impending sense of change wrought by poststructuralism—regardless whether their intention is to embrace such a change or to resist it. * Teachers College Record *Table of ContentsPart 1 Series Preface Part 2 Acknowledgements Part 3 Introduction Chapter 4 What is Poststructuralism?

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Sharing Words Theory and Practice of Dialogic
Book SynopsisSharing Words may be an example of a new way of writing about educational theory and practice, one that results in a captivating and enjoyable experience that invites the reader to share and comment with colleagues, students, and friends.Trade ReviewSharing Words is educational theory and practice at its best. Politically charged and theoretically resourceful, this book re-establishes the imperative of critical learning as a basis for social change, and education as a crucial site of struggle for a radical democracy. Anyone interested in education should read this book. -- Henry A. Giroux, McMaster University Chair for Scholarship in the Public InterestKnowledge is not always disseminated from the top down to students or consumers. Sometimes, as Ramón Flecha here demonstrates, knowledge flows from the bottom up, when individuals with no degree or academic background ‘produce’ and ‘invent’ cultural analyses on the basis of their own experience, their thought, and the exchange with other inventors of their own culture. This book successfully takes a close look at this alternative educational process. -- Alain Touraine, Ecole des Hautes, Etudes de Sciences SocialesSharing Words may be an example of a new way of writing about educational theory and practice, one that results in a captivating and enjoyable experience that invites the reader to share and comment with colleagues, students, and friends. * Harvard Educational Review, November 1999 *In Sharing Words: Theory and Practice of Dialogic Learning, Ramón Flecha provides a unique example of the theory and practice of dialogic learning. By mixing educational and social theory with literature, life narratives, and personal accounts, Flecha creatively narrates the practice of dialogic learning in a seemingly utopian reality: a literary circle in which low-literacy adults enjoy reading books by authors like Kafka, Dostoyevsky, and García Lorca. The book highlights both theory and practice; it is both expository and narrative; and it refers as much to educational and social science works as to classical literature. In this way , Sharing Words may be an example of a new way of writing about educational theory and practice, one that results in a captivating and enjoyable experience that invites the reader to share and comment with colleagues, students, and friends. * Harvard Educational Review *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Introduction: Priciples of Dialogic Learning Chapter 3 1.
