Education and Social Change: Contours in the History of American Schooling
“Its adept treatment of historical developments with interpretive themes is accomplishedin a remarkably concise and accessible manner.”—Sevan Terzian, Florida State University, USA“I really like the book’s central question: do schools change society or does society change schools? While students quickly realize the answer is ‘both,’ this interplay throughout the text works nicely for me. It also supports well another central question that I usually emphasize: the ‘education for what purpose’ question.”—Monica McKinney, Meredith College, USA
