School Reform in a Global Society

This far reaching text, explores the relations between global wealth and poverty, American and European elites and Third World indigenous societies, and the role schools play in the destruction of cultures. It exams how the dark underside of capitalism, called neoliberalism, is using schools to destroy an American generation and why the No Child Left Behind Act is replacing the democracy of Roosevelt and Dewey with Victorian classism.

William E. Segall is professor of social foundations in Oklahoma State University's College of Education and a professor in the university's School of International Studies
