Theory into Practice: Literacy and the State: A Comparison of Hirsch, Rosenblatt, and Giroux.

Harper, Helen

English Quarterly, v22 n3-4 p169-75 1990

Compares the work of three educational theorists from across the political spectrum. Places E. D. Hirsch's concept of cultural literacy against the liberal ideas posited by Louise Rosenblatt and the more radical ideas of Henry Giroux. Finds crucial differences among the three regarding whose knowledge and discourse is validated in the classroom. (MG)
