RECLAIMING EDUCATION MOVING BEYOND THE CULTURE OF REFORM RON SCAPP
New Frontiers in Education, Culture and Politics Series Editor Kenneth J. Saltman University of Massachusetts Dartmouth University of Massachusetts, Boston North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, USA
New Frontiers in Education, Culture and Politics focuses on both topical educational issues and highly original works of educational policy and theory that are critical, publicly engaged, and interdisciplinary, drawing on contemporary philosophy and social theory. The books in the series aim to push the bounds of academic and public educational discourse while remaining largely accessible to an educated reading public. New Frontiers aims to contribute to thinking beyond the increasingly unified view of public education for narrow economic ends (economic mobility for the individual and global economic competition for the society) and in terms of efficacious delivery of educationas akin to a consumable commodity. Books in the series provide both innovative and original criticism and offer visions for imagining educational theory, policy, and practice for radically different, egalitarian, and just social transformation.
