“With fluid and lucid prose, and a battery of compelling arguments, Michael Merry challenges influential liberal ideas about educational justice, such as that good public schools must be diverse, secular, and foster citizenship. This intrepid book is not only a provocative, philosophically astute, and empirically grounded analysis of competing educational ideals, it is also focused on concrete social realities with an eye toward practical solutions. It is publicly engaged philosophy at its best.” —Tommie Shelby, Caldwell Titcomb Professor of African American Studies and Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University, USA “Merry is unafraid to interrogate sacred, core liberal beliefs about education's functions. With his signature, cogent and provocative style, he offers several plausible arguments that highlight areas of conceptual myopia in the quest for educational justice.” —Prudence L. Carter, Dean and Professor of Education, University of California-Berkeley, USA “Merry persuasively argues why insufficient attention to the sociological realities governing state-sponsored education systems are doomed to maintain the status quo. He argues that real change can only come about once we come to terms with the scope and gravity of these endemic problems. Educational Justice should be essential reading for educational reform movements.” —Sally J. Scholz, Professor of Philosophy, Villanova University, USA This book examines the philosophical, motivational, and practical challenges of education theory, policy, and practice in the twenty-first century. There is a loud and persistent drum beat of support for schools, for citizenship, for diversity and inclusion, and increasingly for labor market readiness with very little critical attention to the assumptions underlying these agendas, let alone to their many internal contradictions. Merry does not neglect the historical, comparative international context so essential to better understanding where we are, as well as what is attainable in terms of educational justice. He argues that we must constructively critique some of our most cherished beliefs about education if we are to save the hope of real justice from the rhetoric of imagined justice.
