Schools as Imagined Communities

The Creation of Identity, Meaning, and Conflict in U.S. History

About this book

Government forces mean the notion of a 'community' school has become less defined by decisions on core curriculum. This collection explores the extent to which collective notions of school-community relations have prevented citizens from speaking openly about the tensions created where schools are imagined as communities.
