I need to openly state that a few of the books I mention in this essay, particularly the books by Anyon and Weis, are in a series that I edit. But since the task I was asked to take on in this essay was to give a sense of the state of critical work in the United States, and these books are important statements about this, I felt that to exclude them would have led to a major silence in such an account. 2. For example, see the debate between E. D. Hirsch Jr. and myself about exactly these issues in Ravitch (2005 Ravitch, D. 2005. Brookings papers on education policy, Washington, DC: The Brookings Institution. [Google Scholar]).
