Summary: Perhaps not since Ralph Tyler's (1949) Basic Principle of Curriculum and Instruction has a book communicates the field as completely as Understanding Curriculum. From historical discourses to breaking developments in feminist, poststructuralist, and racial theory, including chapters on political theory, phenomenology, aesthetics, theology, international developments and a lengthy chapter on institutional concerns, the American curriculum fields it here. It will be an indispensable textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses alike. --From cover.
