This article discusses a book titled "Two Sides of the Same Coin: Examples of Free and Unfree Education in Slovakia During the Period of Socialism." The book explores education in Slovakia under the communist regime, focusing on both unfree education and examples of free education. It highlights the struggle for freedom and the resistance against totalitarianism, particularly through the creation of islands of freedom. The book also examines the role of churches in resisting totalitarianism and discusses various aspects of education under the communist regime, including civic education, religious education, and the education of Roma children. While the book provides valuable insights into the Slovakian case, it is criticized for its narrow focus and lack of international context. Overall, it is considered a significant contribution to the literature on education under communism. [Extracted from the article] |
