Rezensionen

'Frank Coffield's Creative Art of Troublemaking is suffused with a lifetime's passion for education and for those whom education serves least well; with scepticism - and occasional well-deserved contempt - towards the grandiloquent fumblings of policy makers; with proper and urgent questioning of the role and power of the state in public education; and, in generous measure, with experience, wisdom and wit. And though it ranges far and wide across our education system, this book is welcome for its particular focus on the neglected field of further, vocational and adult education.'

- Professor Robin Alexander, University of Cambridge

'This collection of articles provides a compelling voyage through half a century of teaching, learning and research. It should be read by former and future students and tutors alike, as it reminds us that there is no democracy without democratic schools and colleges and vice versa. Democratic education has been ignored for too long, while being used as a political plaything by decision makers who have lost touch with how learning takes place in the real world.'

- Reiner Siebert, Fachdozent, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany.
