The State and the Politics of KnowledgeThe State and the Politics of Knowledge extends the insightful arguments Michael Apple provided in Educatingthe "Right" Way in new and truly international directions. Arguing that schooling is, by definition, political, Apple and his co-authors move beyond a critical analysis to describe numerous ways of interrupting dominance and creating truly democratic and realistic alternatives to the ways markets, standards, testing, and a limited vision of religion are now being pressed into schools. |
