Serious Pursuit of Cultural Trivialization.
Zurmuehlen, Marilyn
Art Education, v42 n6 p46-49 Nov 1989
Criticizes the approach towards literacy taken by E. D. Hirsch, Jr. in "Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know." Compares Hirsch's list of "What Literate Americans Know" with lists in books on trivia. Expresses concern about the narrow sense in which Hirsch conceives context in relationship to literacy. (LS)
