Reviews
In this critique and call to arms, Spring (Queens College, City Univ. of New York) contrasts schools in an 'educational security state' with 'progressive education'. The author concludes that the industrial-consumer paradigm for schooling has triumphed over education that searches for human happiness, is environmentally sensitive, empowers people as actors in the reconstruction of society, and uses the traditional knowledge of indigenous people.
