Education State and Crisis - A Marxist Perspective - Madan Sarup - Hardback Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - 2017 - Engelsk - Booktok.dk

Description

First published in 1982, this work is a critical survey of contemporary educational debates and themes which took on new urgency and importance at the time. In particular, it explores the problematic nature of ''progressive education'' and ''discipline''; the changes in the labour process and youth unemployment; the nature of the state and its relationship with schooling; the growth of state intervention and the specific forms of discrimination suffered by women and black people. It argues that trends in education at the time can be explained by a Marxist analysis. It suggests that the changes taking place in schools and colleges were expressions of the contradictions of capitalism and of the state''s attempt to restructure education.
