When Giroux (McMasters U.) wrote the first edition in the late 1980s, he could already see that the US government and popular will were shifting to the ideological Right. The situation is much worse now, he says, with the government in the grip of Christian fundamentalists, market fundamentalists, and neoconservative war mongers. He updates and revises his argument that schools are one of the few spheres left where young people can learn the knowledge and skills necessary to become engaged and critical citizens able to restore democracy.
