...political, but Kozol has no distinct political or theoretical position. He leans to the left, but never identifies his ideological beliefs: it is impossible to tell whether deep down inside, he is a closet social democrat, Maoist, or, what seems to fit best with his style of wholesale criticism, anarchist.
