Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking

Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking

Liberal education has been under siege. Far-right ideologies in journalism and government have pressed for a uniform curriculum that focuses on the achievements of Western culture. Partisans of the academic left, who hold our culture responsible for the evils of society, have attempted to redress imbalances by fostering multiculturalism in education. In this book, David Bromwich criticises these positions and calls for a return to the tradition of independent thinking that he contends has been betrayed by both left and right. Under the guise of educational reform, says David Bromwich, these groups are in fact engaging in politics by other means.
