Citizenship, Education and Social Conflict: Israeli Political Education in Global Perspective (original) (raw)

Thus, despite their different theoretical perspectives and ways of analysing and understanding citizenship education, these contributions share a common concern in regard to the superficiality of the teaching of citizenship. This multivocality is not a drawback but rather one of the strengths of this book, which ultimately is not made of one cloth. In particular, it demonstrates the book’s main argument, namely that to teach about citizenship and to create knowledgeable and political aware citizens, requires bringing politics into the classroom, and that this mission is important not only in the eyes of so-called ‘radical’ multiculturalists, Marxists or feminists.
