UNIQUE: There is, at present, no single-volume narrative history devoted to education and American imperialism.AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Angelo’s previous book, „William Barton Rogers and the Idea of MIT“ won the 2009 History of Education Society’s Oustanding Book Award and the 2009 Virginia Historical Society’s Richard Slatten Prize for Excellence in BiographyMINES UNUSED PRIMARY DOCUMENTS: Presents a careful, comparative, and narrative restructuring of these works and, whenever possible, on the primary sources that have been overlooked by the established literature, such as annual reports by occupation officials, senate reports and investigations, commission reports, personal communications by military commanders, published and unpublished accounts by non-U.S. citizens, and popular media publications.ADDRESSES PHILIPPINES, PUERTO RICO, AND CUBA: Not only seeks to fill gap in the classic and recent literature on the Philippines and Puerto Rico, but also will introduce previously unpublished documents and sources related to education and the occupation of CubaSYNTHETIC IN APPROACH: Brings together the wealth of disparate, atomized scholarship and source documents into a single, cohesive narrative that will offer a much-needed corrective to the gap that presently exists in the literature. It presents for the first time a dynamic account of the role America has had in reshaping and restructuring education abroad under U.S. military ruleTRACES ROLE OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND EDUCATION: It traces the collective educational efforts of American officials in their roles of governors, secretaries of education, superintendents of education, school administrators, teachers, university presidents, professors, teacher-trainers, consultants, and reformers. It also illuminates the economic forces and pressures generated by foreign corporations, State Department officials, and banking institutions that shaped how these officials approached their task of creating, reforming, and restructuring education under U.S. occupation
Beschreibung
This book is about education and American imperialism from the War of 1898 to the War on Terror. Very little coordinated or sustained research has been devoted to the broader contours of America, education, and empire. And third, this volume seeks to inspire new directions in the study of American educational history.
