For The Advanced Early Childhood Philosopher and Policy Expert,
By
This review is from: Ethics and Politics in Early Childhood Education (Contesting Early Childhood) (Paperback)
This is not a book for an undergraduate child development/early childhood education major. It's for someone who understands the basics (DAP, play, Piaget, Vygotsky, NAEYC, authentic assessment, etc.).
Dahlberg pretty much goes in depth with issues covered previously (see QUALITY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE). The author attacks early childhood at its very core: we are too dependent on a monomial way of thinking of the industry--from a DAP standpoint--while ignoring other points of view of seeing early childhood a system. Politics are seen as a way to ensure that choices are made in who's system is chosen while minimzing any stigma garnered by choosing something far away from DAP. A very complex text that may require a thorough understanding of the philosophers of Paulo Freire and Michel Foucault, two scholars that the author refers to conceptual if not through direct quotes. |
