What are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? A History
of Education for the Many shines a clarifying light on the
fundamental questions haunting the 21st century. Curry Malott
provides a critical tool to make an honest assessment of the past,
to fully engage the present, and to collectively fight for a world
that should be and could be, but is not yet.

Educators! This title should be at the top of our reading list.
Malott's work enables teachers and students to understand the
historical development of education within the contours of the
capitalist state and as a location of resistance. The clear
structure and well-researched information and arguments make it a
crucial and accessible book for all educators looking to change the
world.

the Chains magazine, USA*
