A Light in Dark Times features a list of extraordinary contributors who have been deeply influenced by Professor Greene's progressive philosophies. While Maxine Greene is the focus for this collection, each chapter is an encounter with her ideas by an educator concerned with his or her own works and projects. In essence, each featured author takes off from Maxine Greene and then moves forward. This unique and fascinating collection of essays will--as Maxine Greene has--influence a wide range of worlds: arts and aesthetics, literature and literacy studies, cultural studies, school change and improvement, the teaching of literacy, teacher education, philosophy of education, peace and social justice, women's studies, and civil rights. Contributors: William Ayers - Jean Anyon, Louise Berman - Leon Botstein - Deborah P. Britzman - Linda Darling-Hammond - Karen Ernst - Michelle Fine - Norm Fruchter - Madeleine R. Grumet - Sandra Hollingsworth - Mary-Ellen Jacobs - Herbert Kohl - Wendy Kohli - Craig Kridel - Peter McLaren - Maureen Miletta - Janet L. Miller - Sonia Nieto - Nel Noddings - Jo Anne Pagano - Frank Pignatelli - William F. Pinar - Kathleen Reilly - Jonathan G. Silin - Sheila Slater - Candy Systra - Carlos Alberto Torres - Mark Weiss

A light in dark times
How often in life these little fables come up and we forget their original (or semi-original) source. Thousands of years old... parables told over and over again, then written down. What do they really mean, you can ask yourself these questions over and over again and have a different answer each time.
Take the "Tortoise and the Hare" as an example: Is it always true that slow and steady wins the race. Is that really what the story says? Could it be a broad theory that is subject to individual opinion based on the depth of the incident being cited? Is steady better than quick? Which is truly smarter?
If nothing else, it serves as an educational baseline of sorts... a place to start... with morals and the question of "what if" with children's thirsty minds.
But how many of us really know anything about Aesop? :)
About Me
For those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A LOT. I write A LOT. And now I blog A LOT. First the book review goes on Goodreads, and then I send it on over to my WordPress blog at , where you'll also find TV & Film reviews, the revealing and introspective 365 Daily Challenge and lots of blogging about places I've visited all over the world. And you can find all my social media profiles to get the details on the who/what/when/where and my pictures. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Vote in the poll and ratings. Thanks for stopping by. Note: All written content is my original creation and copyrighted to me, but the graphics and images were linked from other sites and belong to them. Many thanks to their original creators.
