Education as Transformation: Commentary and Replies

Abstract

The February 1981 special issue of the Harvard Educational Review, "Education as Transformation: Identity, Change, and Development, " was "dedicated to those engaged in the struggle for freedom—whether it is waged against political or economic subjugation, illiteracy, racism, or sexual and cultural chauvinism. " Its intent was to focus on the role of education in that struggle. The editors of HER are pleased to present critiques by Wendy Griswold and Jonathan Kozol of "Education as Transformation, "and replies from several of the authors who contributed to that issue.
