Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In this passionate book, Ken Macrorie lays the blame for classroom dissatisfaction on the faculty, epitomized by Percival the computer, blind electronic enforcer of the academic cliches.

Contraportada:

What do we see when we look back at the sixties and early seventies in the United States? Some people say they were disgraceful, others, glorious. One thing for sure, during those years, American youth, like French, Japanese, and South American youth in the past, took to the streets to question and protest the way the military-industrial complex, the government, universities, almost all adult institutions, exerted their authority. First published in 1970, Uptaught is not a historian's or a social scientist's attempt to make sense of that roiling era, but a kind of extended Tom Paine-like pamphlet produced by many individual students and a few teachers who had awakened to find they could write their true voices and feelings. To pick up Uptaught is to hold a piece of those years in your hand.
