Ambivalent Imperialists -- Epilogue: American Teachers in a Global Age -- Notes -- IndexUntil the early twentieth century, teachers went abroad with assumptions of their own superiority. But by the mid-twentieth century, they became far more self-questioning about their social assumptions, their educational theories, and the complexity of their role in a foreign society. Drawing on extensive archives of teachers' letters and accounts, Zimmerman's narrative explores the teachers' shifting attitudes about their country and themselves, in a world that was more unexpected than they could have imagined.Educational exchangesUnited StatesHistory20th centuryTeachersUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Educational exchangesHistoryTeachersHistory370.11630973DN 2000rvkZimmerman Jonathan1961-1048398MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455402403321Innocents abroad2476668UNINA
