Opis

The volume provides crucial approaches from leading educators, curriculum theorists and pedagogues since the emergence of curriculum as a field of studies at the end of the nineteenth century. In doing so, the volume underlines the impact of a particular Eurocentric curriculum counter dominant tradition that frames a radical curriculum river in the struggle for the U.S. curriculum. In so doing, Paraskeva's The Curriculum: A New Comprehensive Reader explores the wrangles within and beyond hegemonic and counter hegemonic curriculum inquiry exploring the advances, accomplishments and frustrations of a generation of intellectuals-what Paraskeva calls "the generation of utopia"-in the struggle for social justice and curriculum relevance.

Recenzje

"Thanks to a keenly discerning eye, Paraskeva has crafted an essential tool for stepping back and taking epistemological stock of the course the field has taken and the directions in which it is now being steered."-Cathryn Teasley, University of A Coruña, Spain
