Sommario/riassunto

What unites the contributors to this book is an opposition to Thatcherite policies on education and an agreement upon the need for



the development of democracy in education. This volume highlights the importance of an area of neglected theoretical and practical concern: the development of a critique of the philosophy and policies of the new Right, and of credible alternative policies.
