Enlightenment Values and Debates on Equity and Democracy in the Classroom' is an insightful and thought-provoking publication.It is likely to stimulate debate from the academic sector due to it highlighting tensions between theoretical frameworks in regard to inclusion-a broad and deeply contested area.In terms of this review, however, the focus is directed towards how the text could have an impact on the classroom practitioner.It is reasonable to suggest that this book is a more complex and academic read than the general classroom practitioner might regularly access; however, it holds valuable insights that make the journey worthwhile.
