Devoted to and inspired by the late Maxine Greene, a champion of
education and advocator of the arts, this book recognizes the
importance of Greene's scholarship by revisiting her oeuvre in the
context of the intellectual historicity that shaped its formation.
As a scholar, Greene dialogued with philosophers, social theorists,
writers, musicians, and artists. These conversations reveal the
ways in which the arts, just like philosophy and science, allow for
the facilitation of "wide-awakeness," a term that is central to
Greene's pedagogy. Amidst contemporary trends of neoliberal,
one-size-fits-all curriculum reforms in which the arts are
typically squeezed out or pushed aside, Greene's work reminds us
that the social imagination is stunted without the arts. Artistic
ways of knowing allow for people to see beyond their own worlds and
beyond "what is" into other worlds of "what was" and "what might"
be some day. This volume demonstrates Maxine Greene's profound
ability to illuminate the importance of the artistic world and the
imaginary for development of the self in the world and for
encouraging a "wide-awakeness" reflective of an emerging political
awareness and a longing for a democratic world that "is not yet."
This book was originally published as a Special Issue of The Review
of Education, Pedagogy and Cultural Studies.
