<p>"For generations, scholars have reminded us that ‘education’ is much larger than ‘school’--and that both are deeply influenced by ‘culture.’ But Jane Roland Martin has brought these concepts together in a new and dynamic way. A <em>tour de force</em> by one of the most insightful educators of our time."</p><p>--Jonathan Zimmerman, Professor and Director of the History of Education Program, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University</p><p>"<em>Education Reconfigured</em> does for the concept of ‘encounter’ what Dewey did with ‘experience,’ enlarging our vocabulary for interpreting what ‘education’ means." </p><p>--Steve Tozer, Professor, College of Education, University of Illinois at Chicago</p><p>"For those of us who spend far too many of our waking hours on current education reform debates, <em>Education Reconfigured</em> is a wonderful invitation to step back and ask larger and more important questions that we have not asked before: What sorts of encounters and transformational experiences do we want to foster today---in and out of school---that will help develop thoughtful and democratic citizens for tomorrow?"</p><p>--James W. Fraser, Professor, New York University, and Senior Vice President for Programs, Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation</p><p>"Overall, the subject matter is important, the ideas are relevant, and the presentation is clear and convincing. The argument will especially benefit advanced teacher-education students and graduate students. Recommended."<strong><em>—Choice </em></strong></p>
