Latin American Education: Perceptions of Linearities and the Construction of Discursive Space.
Beech, Jason
Comparative Education, v38 n4 p415-27 Nov 2002
A review of eight books on Latin American education, published after 1995, analyzes the process by which Latin American "discursive space" is constructed in the educational literature. Similarities in the principles dominating recent educational reforms and the main perspectives in the literature that "explain" these similarities are indicative of a closed discursive space that limits thought and action in Latin American education. (Contains 32 references.) (SV)
