The first edition of The Making of Curriculum was published in 1988
and reviewers hailed it as a seminal work in the field. In that
work Goodson explored a number of aspects of the so-called
traditional subjects and described the way they develop over time
to a point where they can be promoted as 'academic' disciplines. He
showed that the claim to be academic was in fact the result of a
substantial political contest covering a century or more. The
traditional subject was, in short, invented. The first edition of
this book provided a series of challenging insights for those
desiring to make sense of the current debate over schooling. In
this new and extended second edition, Bill Pinar adds an
illuminating introduction and Goodson brings his argument
up-to-date with a discussion of the National Curriculum - 'a
contemporary initiative in the making of curriculum.'
