Summary

Jeff MacSwan describes himself as an "incorrigible" child of the working class in the United States. His work continues to be devoted to disadvantaged children. From the "opportunity room" to the university, Mac Swan deals with commitment, understanding, respect in his pedagogical approach to fighting ideology about natural limitations and socio-economic reproduction.
