Review Quotes: "Learning as a Political Act"is one of the most important books I know for anyone interested in the struggle for a just world. The editors and authors not only look back at the shameful history of most educational systems, but, more importantly, they also look forward, giving us a vision for change a vision that includes successful educational methods that liberate rather than oppress. The diversity of voices in this book is astonishing it should be required reading in all schools of education. Lou Bernieri, Director of Andover Bread Loaf, Teacher at Phillips Andover Academy
