Macedo, Donaldo Willis, Paul Castells Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 1999 - 184 pages average customer review:based on 2 reviews view larger image  for more information click here Essays by some of the world's leading educators provide a revolutionary portrait of new ideas and developments in education that can influence the possibility of social and political change. The authors take into account such diverse terrain as feminism, ecology, media, and individual liberty in their pursuit of new ideas that can inform the fundamental practice of education and promote a more humane civil society. The book consolidates recent thinking just as it reflects on emerging new lines of critical theory. A collection of 1993-94 essays without thematic unity. This is a collection of interesting, but largely unrelated, papers from a conference in Barcelona in 1994, which do not present a coherent analysis, and only marginally treat education in relationship to information technology. The title is misleading, and Castells is not the editor, but simply one of the contributors, writing on a topic alien to education. The reader from Atlanta writing a review on this site is absolutely right. Do not expect a book.

One would think this information should be part of the bibliographic description of the title. search for books critical education, critical, education, information, perspectives, series      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: The Ultimate Underdog Collection Volume 3
