This remarkable set of essays defines the role of imagination in general education, arts education, aesthetics, literature, and the social and multicultural context. It consists of three parts: "Creating Possibilities," "Illuminations and Epiphanies," and "Community in the Making." The process of using the imagination for the purpose of developing a vision begins with a sense of one's own possibility and the ability to respond to other human beings. This leads to a social context where humane communities exist, allowing individuality to be nurtured, defined, and celebrated. In this type of environment, true cognition takes place and the full range of human intelligence may be explored. The author argues for schools to be restructured as places where students reach out for meanings and where the previously silenced or unheard may have a voice. She invites readers to develop processes to enhance and cultivate their own visions through the application of imagination and the arts. Should be required reading for all educators, particularly those in teacher education, and for general and academic readers. All levels. Copyright 1999 American Library Association
