Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-06 00:00:00 Gary Grasser Discusses how the "Western" expeditions for accumulation of knowledge had educational implications that were imperialistic. The establishment of discourse perpetuates imperialistic notions!

Review # 2 was written on 2008-07-31 00:00:00 Peter Crossman Worst book I ever had to read for classes! The author doesn't know how to puncuate properly - drives me batty. The Canadian author continually refers to the U.S. as America. If you know anything at all about Canadians/Canada, you know this is a huge no-no. It implies that the U.S. is the only country in both Americas with a right to call themselves Americans. Aside from those issues, Willinsky takes such a black/white view of the world that he ends up alienating readers. I had to read this for a book club and that was everyone's concensus. His occasional good points get lost in his strident writing. Unfortunate, because he does make some excellent points. Don't read this book! There are more concise and better written articles available on Eric or Jstor!
