Books by Meira Levinson

While teaching at an all-Black middle school in Atlanta, Levinson realized that her students' individual self-improvement would not necessarily enable them to overcome their historical marginalization. In order to overcome their civic empowerment gap, students must learn how to reshape power relationships through public political and civic action.

Analyzing and applying contemporary liberal political theory to key problems within the field of educational theory, this text examines problems centred around determining appropriate educational aims, content and institutional structure and argues that liberal governments should exercise a much greater control over education than they now do.
