内容説明
According to Donaldo Macedo, an educational legacy exists that stifles critical thinking in favor of indoctrination and specialization. The educational system has lost sight of its responsibility to prepare students in the kind of broad, critical thinking necessary for responsible citizenship. Challenging conservatives Allan Bloom, E.D. Hirsch, and others, Macedo shows why so-called common culture literacy is a form of dominant cultural reproduction that undermines independent thought and goes against the best interests of our students. In a wide-ranging argument, Macedo shows why cultural literacy cannot be restricted to the acquisition of Western heritage values, which sustain an ideology that systematically negates the cultural experiences of many members of society - not only minorities but also anyone who is poor or disenfranchised. The author brings in some of his own biography as a West African immigrant student who surmounted the barriers imposed by the world's most entrenched monolingual system of higher education. This book is testimony to the very idea that critical thinking and good education are not culturally or linguistically bounded.

内容説明
In Boston, twelve-year-old student David Spritzler faced disciplinary action from his school for his vocal questioning of the Pledge of Allegiance, which celebrates liberty and justice for all. The boys concerns were not taken by the teacher as an opportunity to engage the class in a discussion of the countrys problems, such as homelessness, which could be seen just outside on Bostons streets. Across the river at prestigious MIT, a linguist student told her colleague that she could not take time to read literature outside of theoretical linguistics if she wanted to be a top scholar in her field. Even essays that linked linguistics to its historical and social context fell outside her diligent pursuit of theory.What do these two seemingly disparate events have in common? According to Donaldo Macedo, they are part of an educational legacy that stifles critical thinking in favor of indoctrination and specialization. Our educational system has lost sight of its responsibility to prepare students in the kind of broad, critical thinking necessary for responsible citizenship. }Challenging conservatives like Allan Bloom and E. D.
Hirsch, Macedo shows why so-called common culture literacy is a form of dominant cultural reproduction that undermines independent thought and goes against the best interests of our students. Offering a wide-ranging counterargument, Macedo shows why cultural literacy cannot be restricted to the acquisition of Western heritage values, which sustain an ideology that systematically negates the cultural experiences of many members of societynot only minorities but also anyone who is poor or disenfranchised. Macedo calls on his own experience as a Cape Verdean immigrant from West Africa who had to surmount the barriers imposed by the worlds most entrenched monolingual system of higher education. His eloquence in this book is testimony to the very idea that critical thinking and good education are not and must not be culturally or linguistically bounded. }
