While it has more in common with texts that celebrate the agency of poor and oppressed people's efforts at challenging unjust educational policies, the book is unique in that it looks to the global balances of forces as the primary factor shaping the history of US education. In a country notorious for educating its people with an inability to see beyond its own borders A History of Education for the Many offers a timely corrective. Drawing on Marx's dialectic combined with W.E.B. Du Bois' challenge to 19th-century historians that dismissed the role of the enslaved in ending slavery and bringing forth all progressive reforms in the South, Curry Malott is thus able to demonstrate how the mighty agency of the worlds' poor and oppressed have forced the hand of US imperialists in not only foreign policy, but in domestic education policy. As US imperialism declines in the 21st century, Malott points optimistically and realistically toward a history of education for the many."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRadical politics and education. 606 $aDemocracy and education$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEducation and globalization 606 $aEducation and state$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEducation$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEducation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPoor$xEducation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEducation 606 $aHistory of Education (Education) 606 $aPolitical History (Politics) 606 $aSociology of Education (Education) 606 $aHistory of education$2bicssc 615 0$aDemocracy and education$xHistory. 615 0$aEducation and globalization. 615 0$aEducation and state$xHistory. 615 0$aEducation$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aPoor$xEducation$xHistory. 615 4$aEducation. 615 4$aHistory of Education (Education). 615 4$aPolitical History (Politics). 615 4$aSociology of Education (Education). 615 7$aHistory of education 676 $a370.73 700 $aMalott$b Curry$f1972-$01183160 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597889803321 996 $aA history of education for the many$93373949 997 $aUNINA
