Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Through the use of a consistent analytic framework, this text shows how and why certain school-society issues very first arose in this country and how they have changed over time. Introduced and explained in detail in the very first chapter, the text�s analytic framework focuses on the political economy, the dominant ideology, and existing educational practices that are prevalent in any given historical era. Readings at the end of each chapter are designed for the student to critique using the same analytic framework that the authors employ in the text. In its examination of the evolution of education in the United States, this book tells an engaging historical story.

This book was a required text for one of my Administration Credential courses. The text is timely as Tozer and others tie current perspectives regarding race, gender, social class, and politics to those of the past. Each chapter highlights at least one key figure that helped shape the educational landscape (e.g., Thomas Jefferson, Booker T. Washington, Robert Conant, etc.)In addition each chapter deals with the social climate (social theory/philosophy), the politics, and the economy of the time and their effects on American Education.
The text reads quickly and has a progressive slant. Yet it was very informative- almost to a fault. At times I felt I was reading a history text rather than an educational one. Overall, I would recommend this book to those interested in the forces that shaped the educational institution through history.
