Review Quotes:
'The most insightful paper in this collection, for me at least, was that by Goodson which focuses on the narratives of educational reform in several European countries. He suggests that what appear to be different narratives are in fact similar, but they appear different because they wear the cultural vestments of the nations in which narratives are situated.' - Stephen Murgatroyd, Lifelong Learning in Europe Journal 2012
