Eugene Provenzo, a nationally recognized scholar in the social and
cultural foundations of education, has edited this collection of
significant readings relevant to western traditions of education.
Focusing on modern and postmodern ideas, Critical Issues in
Education: An Anthology of Readings includes selections from
scholars of education ranging from John Dewey and William James to
important contemporary writers such as bell hooks, Sonia Nieto, and
Henry Giroux. Key Features: Provides strong introductory materials:
The editor has developed this as a course text and therefore
provides original contributions to contextualize and shape the
selections into a meaningful whole. He offers commentary and
analysis throughout in the form of original essays, head notes, and
questions that help students engage with the anthologized readings.
Follows a comprehensive development of themes: A compilation of
many of the most significant readings about education in the west,
the book is organized into seven thematic units-The Aims of
Education; Society and Education; Compulsory Education and the
Transmission of Culture; Sexuality and Education; Race;
Multiculturalism, and Education; Social Class and Education; and
Technology and Education. Stimulates critical thinking: The editor
includes readings that are important, provocative, and inherently
interesting, and that encourage readers to critically reflect on
the meaning of education and schooling in American culture. In
addition, discussion questions for each of the eight thematic units
facilitate classroom discussion. Intended Audience: This is an
ideal supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate courses on
the foundations of education such as Foundations of Education;
Historical Foundations of Education; Philosophical Foundations of
Education; and Issues in Education. It will also be a welcome
addition to individual scholars' bookshelves.
