Peter Abbs argues that contemporary education ignores the aesthetic and ethical as a result of being in thrall to such forces as the market economy and managerial and functional dictates. He identifies the present education system as being inimical to creativity and authentic learning and instead, narrowly focused on the quantitative measuring of results. This absence of a creative and ethical dimension in education has implications for art m 606 $aArts$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPostmodernism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArts$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aPostmodernism. 676 $a700.71 700 $aAbbs$b Peter$f1942-,$0911991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449986803321 996 $aAgainst the flow$92042144 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03691nam 2200781Ia 450 001 9910781108303321 005 20230126204044.0 010 $a1-283-00945-5 010 $a9786613009456 010 $a1-56663-917-4 035 $a(CKB)2550000000031106 035 $a(EBL)662263 035 $a(OCoLC)705539073 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000471571 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11297802 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000471571 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10417453 035 $a(PQKB)11363076 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC662263 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL662263 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10465516 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL300945 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000031106 100 $a20101014d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 12$aA nation within a nation$b[electronic resource] $eorganizing African-American communities before the Civil War /$fJohn Ernest 210 $aChicago $cIvan R.

Postscript; A Note on Sources; Index; About the Author 330 $aJohn Ernest offers a comprehensive survey of the broad-ranging and influential African American organizations and networks formed in the North in the late eighteenth century through the end of the Civil War. He examines fraternal organizations, churches, conventions, mutual aid benefit and literary societies, educational organizations, newspapers, and magazines. Ernest argues these organizations demonstrate how African Americans self-definition was not solely determined by slavery as they tried to create organizations in the hope of creating a community.
