Moral & social purpose of education; Educational strategies & policy

Kenneth J. Saltman is a defining voice within Education, and for 25 years he has worked to uncover the ways in which public education has been impacted by corporatization and neoliberalism, and to demonstrate what educators and citizens can do to reclaim the democratic purpose of schooling. His work is unique in the way that it bridges a number of traditions, theoretical perspectives, and ranges in scope across the discipline, while at the same time translating crucial concepts in an accessible writing style.

In this timely collection, Saltman introduces 11 of his most influential writings across his career with new contextual information for each piece. The volume is framed by a new introduction and conclusion by the author, which re-examine the scope of his work, discuss the larger development of the field over time, and considers what is still to be done.

This important work will be crucial to researchers and graduate students in Education courses, particularly within Educational Foundations, Sociology of Education, and Education Policy Studies. The book’s interdisciplinary nature means that it will also be highly beneficial for those studying or researching within Sociology, Communications, and Politics.
