Howard Zinn on Democratic Education

Zinn describes what he thinks is missing from the American curriculum, and argues why the education system should be changed.

Zinn's essays on education--many never before published--are framed in this book by a dialogue between Zinn and Donaldo Macedo, a distinguished critic of literacy and schooling, whose books with Paulo Freire, Noam Chomsky and other authors have received international acclaim.
