Cultural Literacy: A Critique of Hirsch and an Alternative Theory.
Kaufer, David S.
ADE Bulletin, n94 p23-28 Win 1989
Outlines a practical alternative to E. D. Hirsch's challenge of teaching cultural knowledge. Asserts that a theory of cultural literacy based on contributing new knowledge is conceptually richer, less vague, and less authoritarian than Hirsch's theory based on "shared knowledge." (MM)
