| Description: |
Challenges E D Hirsch's assumptions about culture and education. Calling for a broader and more democratic vision than Hirsch, the author critiques Hirsch's legacy up through the conservative educational agenda for education, which, he argues, denies, not only the United States' diversity, but its democratic traditions of democratic participation. |
| Synopsis: |
In Critical Literacy Eugene F. Provenzo Jr. challenges E. D. Hirsch's assumptionsabout culture and education. Calling for a broader and more democratic visionthan Hirsch, Provenzo critiques Hirsch's legacy up through the currentconservative educational agenda for education which, he argues, denies, not onlythe United States' diversity, but its democratic traditions of democraticparticipation. His book shows why critical faculties and skills of students areessential not only to the success of individual students but to their participationin a healthy democracy.Provenzo offers a list of 5,000 things every educated American ought to know-none of them the same items as those included on Hirsch's list in CulturalLiteracy. Critical Literacy is essential reading for those concerned with our schoolsand the future of our children. |
