Bücher von Steven Brint

Since the 1960s the number of highly educated professionals in America has grown dramatically. This title challenges these characterizations, showing that claims about the distinctive politics and values of the professional stratum have been overstated.

In Schools and Societies the author demonstrates that more than any other major institution, schooling and schools are political, and virtually everyone has opinions to voice and interests to promote. Steven Brint musters a wealth of comparative material to show how schooling around the world is shaped by social forces even as it tries to shape the societies of the future.
