Textbooks are the mainstay of schooling, conveying much of the knowledge students receive. However, little attention has been paid to the political, economic and cultural factors that shape the production, distribution and reception of these books. "The Politics of the Textbook" confronts these issues through the essays, published for the first time in this book, which emphasize the double-edged quality of textbooks. This book should be of interest to researchers into sociology of education and cultural studies.
