Ideology and Curriculum

By Michael W. Apple and Michael Apple

Book Overview

Since 1979, Ideology and Curriculum has been a path breaking statement on the relationship between cultural and economic power in education. The new edition of this now classic text has been updated by celebrated author and activist Michael W. Apple to include a full new chapter on the book's lasting critical agenda in the context of the contemporary conservative climate. A new substantive preface introduces the fourth edition, reflecting on earlier arguments and developments from the intervening years while a concluding interview details the author's background and continuing efforts toward building a more equitable society. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of its publication, this highly-anticipated new edition firmly situates Ideology and Curriculum as one of the most important education titles of our time.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!

This is an excellent text to help any reader especially those working in Academia better understand the historical (and current)underlining (and often troubling) purpose of United States education. It's an easy to read, straight-forward text that highlights the "hidden curriculum" our students are receiving and how we as critically-concious, socially just educational advocates can better equip ourselves for the work ahead of us.

One of the most important books on educational policy in the last century.

One of the most books to read in education policy and practice in the last one hundred years.
