Book Synopsis

Reynolds (Georgia Southern U.) and Webber (Illinois State U.) explain that these ten essays support creative "lines of flight" in theoretical curriculum studies as antidotes to what poststructuralists term "control societies" who do not value diversity. Contributors treat the issue of what constitutes curriculum research, and offer multidisciplinary positions in specific fields/contexts (e.g., dance/ spirituality). The reader includes critical thinking questions. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
