Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reid,m Nancy - Typesetting and Design (illustrator). First Edition. 264 Pages. No defects noted and interior text pages are bright, white, and tight. In this Iron Cage series on the schooling of global capitalism, it is noted that the intensity of the privatization/cutback thrust of neo- liberal ministries of education has undercut organizing on the deeper issues of governance, curriculum and pedagogy. Fighting back on the fiscal front still seemed to be all that could realistically be handled by most parents and students, teachers and school board workers, though in our indigenous communities the human substance of their children's educational experience remained at the forefront of their demands. In most of the world, the struggle around those deeper issues of governance, curriculum and pedagogy was only just beginning to find its voice and a new resistance movement in schools appears to be in the making and something important has begun to change in the politics in school systems around the world. The issue of democratic control of our schools and the question of what children are to learn and how they are to be taught have moved closer to the centre of public debate and the movement has begun, and it has found expression - not just in education, but across whole societies - for a more substantial human vision that can penetrate the iron cage of neo-liberal ideology and practice.
