Reflections on the intricate relationships between labor and intellectualism, jobs and vocations, and institutions and communities are woven throughout Harry C. Boyte’s edited collection, Democracy’s Education: Public Work, Citizenship, & The Future of Colleges and Universities. This 27-chapter book is a product of the American Commonwealth Partnership, an intra-institutional project initiated to re-theorize the role of higher education in a contemporary democratic society. While the collection features a host of different arguments, it succeeds in placing these voices in vibrant conversation with another, encouraging readers to construct their own opinions on democracy’s place at all levels of education.
