The Dialectic of Freedom

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.

This book arrived in only a few days. Even though it is a used book, it is in very good condition.

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.
