Stetson Kennedy and the CIO-PAC: Labor education for civic literacy

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed.

Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

This is an optimistic, and useful, book written at a pessimistic time. In an era when the nation faces many social problems - including alienation from the government and work, the fragmentation of the family, and an expanding materialism - this book promoting civic literacy approaches to service learning and seeks to help educators in their efforts to redefine the role of civics in contemporary society. The civic literacy approach to service learning is defined as pedagogy that combines community service and academic instruction and that focuses on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsiblity. The editors challenge community colleges to act as catalysts for a national movement of community renewal, suggesting that they may be our best hope for finding ways to solve our social problems.
