Embracing a Democratic Vision of the Community College: A Critical Multicultural Response to Recent Debates.
Rhoads, Robert A.
Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, v17 n2 p197-206 Apr 1995
Discusses "Strengthening Collegiate Education in Community Colleges" (J. S. Eaton) and "The Contradictory College" (K. J. Dougherty), two conflicting perspectives on community colleges' roles. Argues that both fail to consider the changing needs of today's diverse students. Multiculturalism and commitment to education as democratic practice inherent in critical pedagogy offer solutions that community college critics have not considered. (SM)
