This work brings together articles and papers by union leaders,
activists, social scientists, and educators to provide an overview
of the field of worker education. Along with presenting the major
historical models of worker education, the book addresses the
present issues confronting worker educators today. The book's final
sections present alternative models of worker education that
illustrate a variety of approaches currently being employed. All
selections found in this volume represent original contributions
not published elsewhere. The first section of the book considers
the field of worker education from four levels of social
determinism: institutional, ideological, pedagogical, and personal.
The second part focuses on three historical stages of worker
education. The articles cover the early radical phase of worker
education, the period of union-university cooperation, and the
current, dominant union-sponsored model of worker education. The
third section considers issues which have risen from worker
education's history, institutional configurations, and worker
education's place in modern American society. The final section of
the book presents evaluations of working alternatives to the
dominant models of worker education. The authors not only discuss
specific programs and institutions, but they do so in the context
of the historical models outlined in the first two sections and the
issues raised in Part 3. This book will be of value to students of
the social science and education disciplines, adult and labor
educators, trade unionists, and others interested in this
burgeoning field.
