The philosopher-educator John Dewey wrote that 'Democracy has to be
born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.' In an
America where every vote--though considered equally--counts for
very little, Democracy's Midwife offers the vision of a new kind of
democratic system: a deliberative democracy energized by an
educated citizenry. Jack Crittenden's excellent new study looks
behind the modern democratic rhetoric to reveal a system of
government that excludes citizens from participating directly in
decision-making. The book combines a thorough examination of the
theoretical underpinnings of democratic education with radical
solutions for the overhaul of a system of civic education dating
back to the Founding Fathers. Democracy's Midwife is both a
denunciation of an education system that has failed to prepare
future citizens for participation in public life and a timely
blueprint for the creation of a civic-minded electorate prepared
for the responsibility of self-government.
