A seminal and highly influential work in the sociology of education, 'Knowledge and Control: New Directions for the Sociology of Education' explores the intricate relationship between knowledge, power, and the curriculum within educational systems. Edited by Michael F.D. Young, this foundational text, first published in 1971, has significantly shaped the fields of curriculum theory, critical pedagogy, and the sociology of knowledge. It challenged traditional views of education by examining how different forms of knowledge are selected, organized, and transmitted, and how this process relates to social control and inequality. This copy is offered in good paperback condition.
