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.Sociocultural, political, and historical studies in education.Democracy and educationUnited StatesEducation and stateUnited StatesEducationPolitical aspectsUnited StatesDemocracy and educationEducation and stateEducationPolitical aspects379.73Shaker Paul1829482Heilman Elizabeth E1829483MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962514403321Reclaiming education for democracy4398887UNINA
