Teaching in the Danger Zone: Democracy and Difference.
Kohli, Wendy
International Journal of Social Education, v11 n1 p1-17 Spr-Sum 1996
Argues that, through education, we can create a democratic culture and that, within a democratic culture, education may flourish. Locates the roots of this belief in the rebelliousness and critical mind set of the Enlightenment. Considers how to honor and extend this thinking in current educational practices. (MJP)
