Recenzii
'Michael Apple has never settled for easy answers. His scholarship confronts the messy, complex, and often contradictory challenges posed by the real world – a world he has experienced as teacher, parent, union president and world leading scholar. In this important new study Apple and his co-authors draw on real world cases to explore some of the most pressing dilemmas facing critical educators in the twenty-first century.'
—David Gillborn is Director of the Centre for Research in Race & Education (CRRE) at the University of Birmingham, UK
'What makes The Struggle for Democracy in Education so special is that it is refreshingly honest; it does not romanticise the long, slow, and at times, painful work of resistance against injustices and undemocratic forces in education and society. Rather, it inspires and reinvigorates us to persist. The detailed analysis of egalitarian educational movements in the United States, China and Brazil enables readers to see how activism leads to real social change.'
—Kathleen Lynch, Professor of Equality Studies at University College Dublin, Ireland
'The Struggle for Democracy in Educationis a theoretically rich, concrete analysis of the assault on public education and actual efforts to construct democratic, liberatory alternatives. It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand how contestations over racialized neoliberal agendas play out in real time, on the ground. By illuminating the contradictions and complexities of these struggles in different contexts, it provides invaluable lessons and spaces for action and hope.'

"[Each chapter] provides an educational context to which critical democratic theory can be applied with an eye to parsing out the who, how, and what of ever-evolving democratic processes via specific educational sites and systems; both those that can grow thick democracy as well as those that aim to thin out democracy to the benefit of powerful elites. In each context, Apple and his co-author provide clear context and utilize nuanced critical democratic theory to point out those practices and systemic places worth the time and energy of activist educators and community leaders. These chapters include analyses of educational reforms in, respectively, a midwestern port city; Wisconsin and Colorado; China; and Brazil. Each chapter is very well-written, individually interesting, and as a whole they are pulled together nicely in Apple’s conclusion. Readers looking for that rare case of theory-actually-applied will find this book a compelling read."

Descriere
Interested in the ethical and political responsibilities on those who care about education, The Struggle for Democracy in Education interrogates conflicting models of democratic education and asks us to confront both progressive and retrogressive forces to ask what we can do to ensure that education created is worthy of its name.
