Reviews:

There is substance and considerable insight in this book. . . . [The authors] pedagogy and epistemology are impeccable . . . their impassioned and articulate analysis of learning is perhaps the chief strength of the text.
—Community Review
Highly recommended. . . . Written in a rather interesting manner--primarily as a conversation--this book serves nicely as an informal yet rigorous treatment of critical pedagogy. There is a satisfactory blend of theoretical investigation and practical personal anecdote. . . . The text is well researched.

Endorsement From Democratic Schools: . . . one of the most important books for American teachers . . . If you teach, read it on one of the days when you want to quit. You'll either keep teaching or quit with a clearer head.
