This is a pithy assessment of where adult education now stands -
the traditions out of which it came, its current problems, and
possible futures. The authors are particularly concerned with how
its longstanding commitment to deliver social change ran into
difficulties in the less favourable circumstances of the 1980s and
1990s. They argue that its purposes now need to be reconceptualized
in order for it to become, once again, a relevant and effective
agent of change. The authors remind adult educationists of their
traditional commitment to social action by surveying the ideas of
seminal adult education thinkers as they developed historically in
Europe, North America and later the Third World. They show how
today's very different context has eroded that original vision and
purpose. The book concludes by identifying four possible future
scenarios; the challenges confronting an adult education still
committed to social change; and the key features which they believe
can contribute to 'learning our way out of' the current impasse.
