Reviews

“Critical Curriculum Studies is a provocative book. It challenges many of our assumptions about curriculum, including a number of the assumptions held by politically progressive and critical curriculum scholars, as well. Au rightly asks us to engage in such debates over our politics, theories, policies, and practices. Given the realities of this society, this is a crucial task. It is a task that this second edition of Critical Curriculum Studies takes very seriously.” --From the Introduction by Michael W. Apple, John Bascom Professor Emeritus of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison
