Education And Work In Embargoed Cuba, Irving Epstein
Education And Work In Embargoed Cuba, Irving Epstein
Irving Epstein
This article examines the relationship between education and work in contemporary Cuba, where due to the effects of the US embargo, there is little available work. Following an examination of some of the Western scholarship that analyzes Cuban education into what are labelled as modernist and post-modernist frameworks, it is argued that while both perspectives have merit, neither is totally compelling. Specific issues discussed include the relationship between family, work, and schooling, the collectivist nature of education and work in a transitional socialist state, work and education as metaphors for social redemption, and the effects of centralization and decentralization policies …

Street Children In Film, Irving Epstein
Street Children In Film, Irving Epstein
Irving Epstein
In examining the depiction of street children in three classic films: Kids, Pixote, and Salaam Bombay, I argue that the respective directors play upon our protean concepts of “the street” and “the child” in order to offer social criticism of three types of states: the consumerist state, the authoritarian state, and the neocolonialist state. In each film, street life is used as a metaphor for the way in which the state expresses its authority. In spite of their differences, the directors’ share gendered views of children and childhood innocence, and see the street as offering its inhabitants the opportunities for …
Educating Street Children: Some Cross-Cultural Perspectives, Irving Epstein
Educating Street Children: Some Cross-Cultural Perspectives, Irving Epstein
Irving Epstein
This paper analyzes various institutional responses to homelessness among children and youth as a means of better understanding the workings of the neo-liberal state, both in the developing and the developed world. This is a fruitful exercise because the culture of the street is unique and is difficult to reconcile with the predominant values of state-sponsored institutions. In making this argument, the American and Brazilian cases are specifically discussed, as they are seen as representative of neo-liberalism in the developed and developing world. Although each case includes significant differences, a major contradiction of neo-liberalism, with particular reference to its promotion …
Comparative Education In North America: The Search For Other Through The Escape From Self?, Irving Epstein
Comparative Education In North America: The Search For Other Through The Escape From Self?, Irving Epstein
Irving Epstein
Few would argue with the contention that comparative education is at a crossroads. Not unlike the traditional social science fields, the social foundations sub-disciplines generally and comparative education in particular, have suffered as a result of general trends that have affected North American academic discourse and practice: increased disciplinary specialisation within the context of growing university corporatism, and in the 1990s, downsizing. For inherently generalist fields such as comparative education, these pressures have heightened prospects for their programmatic reduction or even elimination [1]. At the same time, they have encouraged a healthy introspection regarding current purpose and future goals [2]. …
Child Labor And Basic Education Provision In China, Irving Epstein
Child Labor And Basic Education Provision In China, Irving Epstein
Irving Epstein
This paper argues that child labor abuse, along with inconsistent commitments to enforce compulsory schooling mandates at the primary level in China, can be traced to those changing economic priorities that have both welcomed foreign investment and have increased social inequality within the country. The exploitation of child labor is one of the dehumanizing trends that define 'commodity socialism' in stark terms. Western attitudes and practices have not only encouraged such practices but have legitimized them as well.

Special Education In Japan And China, Irving Epstein
Special Education In Japan And China, Irving Epstein
Irving Epstein
This paper compares special education issues in Japan and China. It assumes that this comparison is of intrinsic interest because both Asian societies share similar value orientations, yet are at different stages in their respective modernization efforts. The author argues that the special education case is illustrative of the possibilities and limitations of cultural borrowing from western models, and he re-examines a number of assumptions those models express. Specific issues concerning the desirability of main streaming, the social context of learning theory and appropriate definitions of equality of opportunity are discussed.

Special Educational Provision In The People's Republic Of China, Irving Epstein
Irving Epstein
As the educational system within the People's Republic of China continues to develop and mature, schools offering specialised curricular and instructional alternatives to their ordinary counterparts will be called upon to play an increasingly important supportive role. While educational specialisation and diversification are currently at a nascent stage, a preliminary glimpse of the process allows us to form at the very least a first impression concerning the efficacy of modernisation efforts in educational terms. We can observe the extent to which issues concerning the uniqueness of curricular form and function are clearly articulated, and we can look for the formation …
