In Critical Literacy, Eugene F. Provenzo Jr. challenges E. D.
Hirsch's assumptions about culture and education. Calling for a
broader and more democratic vision than Hirsch, Provenzo critiques
Hirsch's legacy up through the current conservative educational
agenda for education which, he argues, denies, not only the United
States' diversity, but its democratic traditions of democratic
participation. His book shows why critical faculties and skills of
students are essential not only to the success of individual
students but to their participation in a healthy democracy.
Provenzo offers a list of 5,000 things every educated American
ought to know - none of them the same items as those included on
Hirsch's list in Cultural Literacy. Critical Literacy is essential
reading for those concerned with our schools and the future of our
children.
