Includes bibliographical references (p. 205-210).
1. A subject at last! -- 2. The introducing of politics in schools (1969) -- 3. On bias (1977) -- 4. Political literacy (1978) / Ian Lister -- 5. Basic concepts for political education (1978) -- 6. Citizenship and education (1992) -- 7. In defence of the Citizenship Order 2000 -- 8. Friendly arguments (1998). Values and rights are enough. Anti-racism should lead. World citizenship comes first. School governors, another task. Universities could help -- 9. The presuppositions of citizenship education (1999) -- 10. The decline of political thinking in British public life (1998) -- 11. A meditation on democracy (1996).
Citizenship, both the subject and the practice, should be a bridge between the vocational aims of education and education for its own sake. Not all of life is productive: there is leisure, there is culture, both of which active citizens can defend, indeed enhance. This book may, I hope, help teachers and all involved in education (governors, parents and even inspectors) gain or reinforce a sense of civic pride and mission.
