Acknowledgments
Edited volumes are always difficult to do. The trials of deadlines, co
ordination, etc. are just that - trials. Yet for all of that, volumes of this
type help both to create collective bonds where none existed before
and strengthen those that existed previously. The very task of trying to
bring together individuals who are doing some of the best work on
education and cultural and economic reproduction helped to establish
bonds between what are too often two separate communities. Lines of
communication and the possibility of collective conceptual and
political work are established. This is important not just for the authors
of the individual chapters in this book, but for the reader as well. As
a community is formed, we can learn from each other; new lines of
action can be identified; and, just as significantly, a step can be taken
to overcome the historic divisiveness within those groups of people
who are so deeply concerned for a non-exploitative society.
A number of people have contributed significantly to my efforts
of thinking through this volume and refining it. All of the contributors
have taught me a good deal. Some - such as Roger Dale, Michael
Useem, and Philip Wexler - were instrumental in enabling me to
recognize important areas that I might otherwise have ignored. Other
friends and colleagues provided necessary criticism and suggestions,
sometimes even unknowingly perhaps. Among them were Jerry Karabel,
Michael Olneck, Paul Willis, Joel Taxel, and the membership of the
Social Text editorial collective in Madison. David Godwin of Routledge
& Kegan Paul suggested the volume originally and provided much
needed encouragement and assistance when the 'trials' got to me. Rima
D. Apple contributed important editorial advice and so much more.
Bonnie Garski's secretarial excellence was demonstrated once again.
