✦ Synopsis
In this article, the author problematizes the process of "humanizing education" in the era of perestroika and glasnost. Identifying herself as a "democratic socialist," Kohli invites her Soviet colleagues to acknowledge the criticisms of liberal capitalism before they move headlong in that direction. In deconstructing such taken-forgranted concepts as individualism, democracy, market economy, and community, Kohli suggests that both the West and the East could benefit from re-visiting their respective revolutionary traditions at this crucial historical time.
