The best way to teach democracy has been the subject of an
ongoing debate for 2,500 years. Unlike most books about teaching
democracy, this one spends more time on how to teach democracy than
the what and why of teaching democracy. It punctures the irony of
teaching democracy by lectures and superior teachers. In its place,
this book provides a variety of illustrations for the teaching of
democracy in an experiential and egalitarian fashion. The
introduction presents a theoretical and analytical framework of
democracy and democratic pedagogy. The six chapters cover topics
such as structuring a democratic classroom; democratic practices
that empower students; problem solving and community service that
make the classroom a laboratory for democracy; and university-based
programs of democratic alternatives that serve the community. The
volume's treatment of community organization, students as
collaborators, personal empowerment, the community of need and
response, and the democratic organization expresses its preference
for direct democratic participation.
