“To be concerned with democratic education today is to be focused directly on economic inequality. This book is groundbreaking because it brings the two into a single frame.” –Walter Parker, Professor of Social Studies and, by courtesy, Political Science, University of Washington, Seattle “This book boldly tackles crucial problems in U.S. education and society, especially considering the current state of inequality. It explains how and why we need to utilize new approaches to democracy education, for marginalized students in particular, with the intent of strengthening democracy for all. The chapters offer compelling explications of research, practice, and ideology. With its focus on economics, the book makes a critical contribution to scholarship on democratic education." –Judith L. Pace, Professor of Teacher Education, University of San Francisco
