Series: Critical Social Thought

This edited collection discusses the efforts of teachers, parents and administrators to conteract the alienation and intellectual disengagement which they perceive to be present in many American schools. Educators working in some of the best alternative elementary and secondary schools across America describe their attempts to create systems which will educate diverse populations in their customs and heritages and to make schools into places characterized by intellectual vitality, personal support and strong connections to their local social environment.
