Social Reconstruction Through Education: The Philosophy, History, and Curricula of a Radical Idea (Contemporary Studies in Social and Policy Issues in Education: The David C. Anchin Center Series)

This volume on the history and philosophy of social reconstruction is the result of Kenneth Benne's discussions, essays and experiences, but also includes contributions from other scholars.

The volume also connects past to present, thus bringing the reader fresh insight into the dilemmas facing schooling in the 1990s.Michael E.
