Charter Schooling and Social Justice.
Abowitz, Kathleen Knight
Educational Theory, v51 n2 p151-70 Spr 2001
Uses Nancy Fraser's theory to provide a rationale for charter schooling, introducing the social justice and democratic possibilities inherent in some charter school proposals. The article argues that Fraser's notion of multiple public spheres, combined with her strategies of economic redistribution and cultural recognition, provide a compelling rationale and conceptual model for charter schooling.
