In a time of unprecedented social and economic crisis, this book
represents a challenge to the orthodoxy that shapes our vision of
educational purpose. It argues that now, more than ever, there is a
moral imperative for educators to assume responsibility for helping
to bring about a culture of peace and non-violence in both our
nation and throughout the world as a whole. Shapiro has situated
his vision of education in a broader quest for social and moral
change. His framework is one rooted in the critical pedagogic
tradition which sees education's primary purpose as nurturing
democratic values, civic involvement, and a commitment to a more
just and compassionate culture.
