Description
"The second edition explores the myriad ways that education, broadly defined, molds each of us in profound and enduring ways. Laid against the supporting scaffolding of modern critical theory, the chapters offer cutting edge perspectives on going to school in British Columbia. How has education been tailored by race, class and gender? How do representations of schools and schooling change over time and whose interests are served? What echoes of current tensions can we hear in the past? Children, Teachers and Schools offers a glimpse of the deep contradictions inherent in an experience that we all share"--publisher's website.
