Transcript
Free Schools
“It is not only a beautiful book, but also a serious and courageous one. The free school which this book defends is not the traditional one that, modernized, would become more efficient in its class-manipulating power ... Kozol is not a naive educator.”
- Paulo Freire, Author of The Pedagogy of the Oppressed
“Just plain essential. I kept nodding my head in vigorous agreement until it might have fallen off. Stripped of rhetoric and fiercely real, the book is so useful a guide because of Jonathan Kozol’s depth of experience and understanding.”
-Nat Hentoff, Author of Our Children Are Dying
“Honest, beautifully written, wise, cogent, and, above all, useful. Of all the handbooks for change I know, Free Schools is far and away the best.”
-Neil Postman, Author of Teaching as a Subversive Activity
First Revised Edition
For this paperback edition, Jonathan Kozol has completely updated the book, added a chapter on politics, rage and motivation in the Free Schools, and greatly expanded the chapter on contacts, leads and addresses.
