Présentation de l'éditeur

This distinguished collection of essays describes and seeks to analyse the relationship between adult education and the broader process of social change. The essays focus on two periods, the period from 1919 to 1945, and the post-war years to 1988. Bodies such as the WEA, Ruskin College, the National Council of Labour Colleges and the Plebs League have all played their part in the education of working-class people. This book explores the trade unions' role in adult education, the Marxist challenge to conventional schools of thought, the role and potential of adult education in a period of rapid social change and the contemporary challenges facing adult education, as well as providing local studies.
