Reviews
“Dehistoricization is a tool used by those who would undermine, exploit, or attack the field of education. A Troubling Inheritance: Reworking Problematic Curricula by Dr. Seth A. McCall is an important book because it situates our current moment by placing it in relationship with what McCall describes as a troubling inheritance. This book matters because it historicizes the current work of teaching and learning which helps educators resist neoliberal trends that undermine democracy in schools and society.” -- Samuel Jaye Tanner, The University of Iowa “In this beautifully written, brilliantly argued book, Seth McCall challenges us to find more playful ways to deal with our (curricular) troublesome inheritance. Framed by a sophisticated and nuanced use of Affect Theory, McCall wonders what curricula can do, and then experiments with the many ways in which problematic pedagogical objects can move us to imagine education otherwise.” -- Dani Friedrich, Columbia University
