Description: Unfortunately, civic values such as equity and justice that constitute moral grounding of American democracy are losing their place in public affairs. The promise of this democracy is inclusive: no one is to be left out. Yet, many people are. This title regards the challenge of inclusiveness as a fundamental and non-negotiable educational agenda.
Review Quotes:
"Goodlad and Soder once again have given us a timely book. 'Democracy' as we have known it is currently under siege, having been replaced by 'special Interest groups' and manipulated on their behalf. The citizen's voice has thereby been marginalized. This book reminds us that we must reinvigorate that voice."
--Theodore Sizer
