Summary This text moves both forward and backward in examining definitions of democracy, citizenship, work, social studies, and education. The contributors to this edited volume address social studies teaching at the elementary and secondary levels as well as social studies teacher education. They describe teaching as not only examining and changing classroom practices, but as engaging in contesting and reforming educational discourses, school structures and politics, and values in the wider society.
