This timely volume explores the present-day implications of the
traditional American belief in public education as a vehicle for
extending democratic politics. In light of the current debates
about public schools, are they still the key to upward mobility?
Can they still serve to create a civic consciousness? Elizabeth A.
Kelly defends the role of public education against its critics and
throws light on such issues as privatization, voucher systems, the
role of public intellectuals, critical literacy, and educational
reform. She unabashedly offers a renewed vision of public schooling
as the locus of public knowledge and political democracy, a vision
that will appeal to those who are not prepared to abandon the
ideals of either democracy or public education. Generously
conceived, clearly argued, and gracefully written, Education,
Democracy, and Public Knowledge is important reading not just for
students of democracy and of education but for all those concerned
with the future of American education.
