6. As is the case with the three books we examine here, our focus primarily centers on a critique of liberalism and its influence on schooling and difference. It is beyond the scope of this essay to provide any kind of spirited defense of liberalism and liberal social/political theory, but we do point the readers to two important works that speak to some of the issues we raise. See, for example, John Rawls and his discussion of "justice as fairness" and his neutrality principle ("neutrality of aim") in Political Liberalism (New York: Columbia University Press, 1995); and Thomas W. Pogge's defense of Rawls in Realizing Rawls (Ithaca, New York: Cornell University Press, 1989).
