Description:
Disrupting dominant notions of history as linear, as inevitable progress, and as embedded in the individual, this book examines how curriculum history can be re-envisioned from a feminist, poststructuralist perspective.
Review Quotes:
"Curriculum history, explains Hendry, transcends the history of schools to examine the social, political, and cultural dynamics of knowledge and learning. She argues that this history must be brought to light and analyzed in order to deal with a crisis in education that ahistorical presentism depicts in the shallow water of failing schools and falling test scores."--Reference and Research Book News
"This invaluable book will be useful not only to curriculum studies major students and researchers but also to other history, education, gender studies majors, researchers, and teachers who are passionate about re-membering histories with/in contingent times and spaces."--Teachers College Record
