The State and the Politics of Knowledge

<em>The State and the Politics of Knowledge</em> extends the insightful arguments Michael Apple provided in <em>Educating</em> <em>the "Right" Way</em> in new and truly international directions. Arguing that schooling is, by definition, political, Apple and his co-authors move beyond a critical analysis to describe numerous ways of interrupting dominance and creating truly democratic and realistic alternatives to the ways markets, standards, testing, and a limited vision of religion are now being pressed into schools.
