Political Goals of Peruvian Students: The Foundations of Legitimacy in Education.

Post, David

Sociology of Education, v61 n3 p178-90 Jul 1988

Explores several factors that led students in Peru's highland region to see revolt, as opposed to educational expansion, as the most desirable solution to their nation's problems. Examines Marxist functionalism, rational-action theory, and Weberian perspectives to illuminate the reasons behind the Sendero Luminoso ("shining path") insurrection. (GEA)
