- Summary:
- Curriculum history, explains Hendry (education, Louisiana State U.), transcends the history of schools to examine the social, political, and cultural dynamics of knowledge and learning. She argues that this history must be brought to light and analyzed in order to deal with a crisis in education that ahistorical presentism depicts in the shallow water of failing schools and falling test scores. The problem is a failure to re-imagine education as something more than a technical, corporate enterprise, she says. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
