Power, voice and the public good : schooling and education in global societies
"Power, Voice and the Public Good: Schooling and Education in Global Societies comes at a most propitious time in our tumultuous world. With the dawn of the new millennium, our global problems of poverty, hunger, disease, war, inadequate schooling, abuse and exploitation, homelessness, and natural disaster have become ever more challenging. That such issues have profound consequences on children across the globe is of no small consequence. It would appear that issues of social equity, social justice and democracy have been subverted in the quest for profit, dominance and soical control. Amidst it all, we have become borderless societies where problems from one nation state encumber the resources and priorities of other nation states."--BOOK JACKET
