Beskrivning

Reimagining the Educated Citizen contends that the constructs of public education and citizenship in the struggle to constitute a U.S. national identity are inseparable from the simultaneous emergence of transatlantic constructs of an educated citizen along transnational and transracial lines. The nineteenth century is commonly understood as the age of nationalism and nation formation in which the Anglo-Protestant Common School movement takes center stage in the production of the American democratic citizen. Ironically, the argument for public, Common Schools privileged whiteness instead of equality. This book suggests that an alternative vision of the relationship between education and citizenship emerged from a larger transatlantic history. Given shape by the movement of people, ideas, commodities, and practices across the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi Valley, this radical egalitarian vision emerged at the crossroads of the Atlantic-colonial and antebellum Louisiana.

Recensioner i media

“Digging deeply into sources across centuries of time and mobilizing an impressive array of disciplines, Petra Munro Hendry not only recovers the early history of education in Louisiana from obscurity but discovers a profound and timely meaning in it. From richly detailed and compelling stories told about a diverse cast of people, readers learn up-close how they built intercultural public spaces through a transatlantic circuit of pedagogy that consistently challenged exclusionary constructs of empire and nation-state. Reimagining the Educated Citizen does nothing less than chart a much-needed alternative pathway for understanding the history of education in the United States.”
