Reviews
"Almost by definition, a classic text resists revision. But Herbert Kliebard's Struggle for the AmericanCurriculum is a welcome exception. Retaining its focus upon conflicts between curriculum theorists, Kliebard's latest edition adds new chapters about changes in school subjects themselves. The result is a lot like Herb Kliebard himself: concise, witty, graceful, and wise. Kliebard is a gentleman as well as a scholar, and it shows." -- Jonathan Zimmerman, New York University Praise for the previous editions "Kliebard's book has many strengths: it is lucidly written and the author discusses a wide range of issues and people in a succinct, fair, and scholarly manner. For these reasons alone it should appeal to a wide audience." -- Harvard Educational Review Praise for the previous editions "Just as Kliebard's was an impressive voice calling for the study of curriculum history, so his own response to that need is impressive. The Struggle for the American Curriculum,1893-1958 is well-researched and gracefully written, insightful as well as interesting." -- Teachers College Record
