Schools for Democracy: Lyotard, Dissensus and Education Policy.

Examines the purpose of U.S. public education as "preparation for citizenship" through a critical inquiry into the structures of modern education policy formation. The framework for the inquiry relies heavily on the work of Jean-Francois Lyotard, a contemporary French philosopher.
