Beyond Liberal Democracy in Schools: The Power of Pluralism
Barbara J. Thayer-Bacon
Explains how the individualist legacy of liberal democracy, as conceived by Locke and Rosseau, ignores and excludes the needs of American students raised in cultures with strong communal traditions. This book shows us how our vision of the democratic process as revealed in school practices routinely fails minority students.
