This important book looks at developments that are changing our
understanding of the role of education in citizenship and the
possibilities of democratic participation. The first chapter
reviews theories of citizenship and education based on the
classical contributions to political theory of C.B. MacPherson and
T.H. Marshall. The second chapter challenges educators to think
more politically about education. It is based on a seminal analysis
that shows the role education plays in the liberal, neoliberal, and
neoconservative state, incorporating critical perspectives from
neo-Marxism, postmodernism, and feminism. In chapter three
Professor Torres analyzes the transition from the welfare state to
the neoliberal state, including the role of international
organizations in promoting educational reform and privatization
policies. In the concluding chapter Torres draws on Hobbes, Locke,
Jefferson, Kant, Hegel, Marx and other writers such as C. Mouffe
and C. Pateman to outline contemporary approaches to
multiculturalism in education and citizenship.
