Synopsis
In this book Apple explores the 'conservative restoration' - the rightward turn of a broad-based coalition that is making successful inroads in determining American and international educational policy. It takes a pragmatic look at what critical educators can do to build alternative coalitions and policies that are more democratic. Apple urges this group to extricate itself from its reliance on the language of possibility in order to employ pragmatic analyses that address the material realities of social power.

"No student of education can afford not to hear the story that Apple so ably tells."
-Jeannie Oakes, co-author of "Because of the Kids: Facing Racial and Cultural Differences in Schools
