5.0 out of 5 stars
The best book that I have read for a class.,
By Harvey (s0hrsteb@atlas.vcu.edu) (Ashland, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dialectic of Freedom (John Dewey Series) (John Dewey Lecture) (Paperback)
This book is easily the best and most important book that I have read since I started going to graduate school in 1996. It has truly changed my way of seeing certain things. Dr. Green's vision of freedom is presented by examples from books and other media, and makes the subject both understandable and affecting. If a teacher were to follow her vision and her suggestions, his or her classroom would be the most dynamic one in almost any school. If one is a teacher, or if one merely likes good writing, get this book. It is truly visionary.

This review is from: The Dialectic of Freedom (John Dewey Series) (John Dewey Lecture) (Paperback)
Required textbook -- tough reading, but I enjoyed it! Greene uses a lot of literary references which the majority of my classmates were unfamiliar with. This book almost requires a degree in English literature to understand what she's getting at.

A good introduction to Maxine Greene,

This review is from: The Dialectic of Freedom (John Dewey Series) (John Dewey Lecture) (Paperback)
Maxine Greene is one of the great educators and thinkers of our time. This is the first work of hers I read, and I was hooked. I had the distinct honor of meeting Dr. Greene and she is a humble and curious person, even in her 90s. She is an inspiration and her questions asked through her readings of literature will make you think.
