It is not often that a book dealing with curriculum theory can be pronounced a 'good read'. The fact is, however, that Ivor Goodson has written  a book which can be read avidly not only by the student of education but also by the general reader interested in the human story behid the evolution of school subjects - Keith Wheeler (REED)

The book aims to fill the gap in the litterature on education and schooling: namely that we do not have any comprehensive story on the history of curriculum. It aims to bring together a range of research and moves us towards an understanding of how school subjects have become historically constructed and how they change.

It offers a fruitful and practical approach for analyzing the inescapable political realities of the contemporary curriculum. It reminds us that what is socially constructed can also be deconstructed and reconstructed, and that notions of social equity and justice can be constituted within school curricula.

This book provides a personal introduction to the range of approaches adopted by Ivor Goodson, who has been working in the field of school subjects for several decades. The book provides exemplars of the main approaches to studying school subjects along with substantive material from a range of countries.
