Education, class, and nation: The experiences of Chile and Venezuela

Education, Class and Nation distills the passionate convictions, the fervent transnational hopes, and two lifetimes' knowledge of Latin Americans. The book is in part history, contrasting two nations: Chile and Venezuela. It is in part an anguished effort - following a decade of admitted prior frustration - to bolster conclusions with statistics. It also is a theoretic torment: how to use the notion of "modernization" without becoming either a gatherer of disjointed facts or an iconoclastic innovator of still one more variant of "socialism." by C.
