The Struggle for Democracy in Education extends the insightful
arguments Michael W. Apple provided in Can Education Change
Society? It provides detailed examinations of both local and
system-wide struggles around conflicting versions of democracy.
Grounded in a key set of ethical and political responsibilities for
those who care deeply about education, Apple and his co-authors
interrogate conflicting models of democratic education, one
interested in the common good and the creation of critical
citizens, the other market-oriented and meant to meet a set of more
conservative economic needs. Through a series of powerful
international case studies, this volume explores the contested
terrain, combining powerful theory with the "stuff" of schools,
political and pedagogical actions, and the lives of individuals.
These detailed examinations provide the reader with a more nuanced
understanding of how policy, history, and varied actors with varied
agendas come together, and the very real people and systems that
are impacted by these conflicts. The Struggle for Democracy in
Education asks us to face and understand these myriad forces and
actors-both progressive and retrogressive-and to ask what we can do
to ensure that the education that is created is worthy of its name.
In the process, the book gives us real examples of critically
democratic education and what we can learn from these struggles.
