This volume discusses changes in views and attitudes about the work of teachers and how these sociological views and attitudes have asserted themselves from 1990 to 2000. The book is organized in three sections. The first lays a theoretical framework by addressing the notion of class and how it affects views of teachers' work. The second section puts the first section's theory into practice through an illustrative analysis of teachers' lives in America and England. The final section focuses on the changes that have affected teachers' work in the 1990s and the world over.

Dr. Susan Robertson has researched, published and taught political sociology and policy studies in education in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. She has recently taken up an appointment as Senior Lecturer in the Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol in England. Dr. Robertson has published in a range of international journals and book collections on matters of education, labor and the state. Her interest is in theorizing the changing nature of work, policy formation and implementation and critical policy analysis. She is co-editor with Harry Smaller of Teachers' Political Activism (1996) and currently completing a book with Roger Dale on Critical Policy Methodology in Education.
