Nielsen Book Data Publisher's Summary With the current conservative emphasis on cultural literacy and on a return to a common culture, Ideology and Curriculum - with its stress on the dangers of ideological indoctrination in schools and on the power relations involved in what is taught - serves as a reminder that our educational policies and practices are never neutral.

This revised paperback edition contains a new preface in which the author extends the book's arguments and places them in the current conservative context in education in society at large. Here he describes the way in which education works selectively to exclude certain groups: Schools do not only control people; they also help control meaning.

Ideology and Curriculum

Power and culture, then, need to be seen, not as static entities with no connection to each other, but as attributes of existing economic relations in a society. They are dialectically interwoven so that economic power and control is interconnected with cultural power and control ….

Two things have been central to this approach, so far. First, it sees schools as caught up in a nexus of other institutions—political, economic, and cultural—that are basically unequal.

That is, schools exist through their relations to other more powerful institutions, institutions that are combined in such a way as to generate structural inequalities of power and access to resources. Second, these inequalities are reinforced and reproduced by schools though not by them alone, of course.

Through their curricular, pedagogical, and evaluative activities in day-to-day life in classrooms, schools play a significant role in preserving if not generating these inequalities …. They may perform economic and cultural functions and embody ideological rules that both preserve and enhance an existing set of structural relations.

These relations operate at a fundamental level to help some groups and serve as a barrier to others. New Learning Chapter 2: Life in Schools Chapter 3: Learning For Work Chapter 4: Learning Civics Chapter 5: Learning Personalities Chapter 6:
