The Politics of Self-Esteem.
Kahne, Joseph
American Educational Research Journal, v33 n1 p3-22 Spr 1996
Before analysts can assess self-esteem as a goal for policy and practice, they must consider the ideological orientations of those who use the term and the cultural norms that shape the debate. Explicit attention to the politics surrounding self-esteem is needed to evaluate the use of the term in policy contexts. (Author/SLD)
