| Summary: | Much has been said of the role of education in the transition from capitalism to socialism, but Arnove (international and comparative education, Indiana U.) illuminates the reverse process during the shift from Sandinista to post-Sandinista rule in Nicaragua. He examines struggles over curricula and textbooks, organization and financing, teachers unions, university autonomy, and the conception and practice of literacy. He also assesses the potential of using education by contending factions of diametrically opposed world views. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
