This book reviews the political shift toward neo-liberal ideology and explores its tremendous impact on education. It explains with striking clarity the causes precipitating this major ideological shift and considers the potential threats neo-liberal ideology, with its focus on human capital preparation and instrumental learning, poses to public education in a democracy. The book outlines in an accessible fashion a number of political, academic and intellectual strategies that educators might pursue to reclaim education for democratic citizenship. Finally, the authors explore the possible role of teachers and teacher educators as public intellectuals who actively engage political policy, arguing that if students are expected to fulfill the responsibilities of democratic citizenship, teachers and other educators must be prepared to model the necessary characteristics.
