The Legacy of Jonathon Kozol

Lara Saunders

This essay seeks to explain why Jonathan Kozol's first six books about public education and the need to reform have neither penetrated educational curricula nor influenced educational theorists or practitioners. It is argued that his messages and observations, although of substance and sensitivity, are replete with rage and anger, such that the reader runs for cover rather than understanding what is being revealed. The authors were ready to conclude that Kozol perpetuates the present educational system that he seeks so desperately to change. However, with the publication of Savage Inequalities, his message about American public education and the need for change will likely be heard and debated.
