Routledge/Vikas Publishing House Pvt Ltd, 2014. 5th or later edition. Softcover. New. 15 x 23 cm. This brief, interpretive history of American schooling focuses on the evolving relationship between education and social change. Like its predecessors, this new edition investigates the impact of social forces such as industrialization, urbanization, immigration and cultural conflict on the development of schools and other educational institutions. It also examines the various ways that schools have contributed to social change, particularly in enhancing the status and accomplishments of certain social groups and not others. Detailed accounts of the experiences of women and minority groups in American history consider how their lives have been affected by education. Changes in this new edition include the following: A more thorough treatment of key concepts such as globalization, human capital, social capital, and cultural capital. Enhanced attention to issues of diversity throughout. Greater thematic coherence as a result of dividing chapter 6 into two chapters, the first focusing on the postwar period and emphasizing the themes of equity and social justice and the second focusing on human capital in education, highlighting the standards movement, federal policy changes and neo-liberal reform. A revision of several focal point discussions for greater clarity and thematic releance. Update discussions of recent changes in educational politics, finance and policy, especially the troubles presently facing No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Table of Contents Introduction: History, Social Change, and Education 1. Colonial America: Religion, Inequality and Revolution 2. Emergence of a Modern School System: The Nineteenth Century 3.

Globalization and Human Capital: From "A Nation at Risk" To Neo-Liberal Reform Epilogue: Education and Social Change in Perspective Printed Pages: 284., Routledge/Vikas Publishing House Pvt Ltd, 2014, Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1989. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 10 1/4h x 8w. A 1st edition 263 page + hardcover. Clean and unmarked with just a little edge wear. Pegged pants poodle skirts, record hops, rock n' roll, soda shops: in the interval between the bombing of Hiroshima and the assassination of John F. Kennedy, these were distinguishing marks of the "typical" postwar teenager-if there was a "typical" teenager. In this richly illustrated account of Youth in postwar Buffalo, William Graebner argues that the so-called Youth culture was really a variety of "disparate subcultures, united by age but in conflict over class, race, ethnicity, and gender." Using scrap books, oral histories, school Yearbooks, and material culture, he shows how Buffalo teenagers were products of diverse and often antagonistic subcultures. ., Temple University Press, 1989<
