Description: About this productProduct InformationJoel Spring's history of school polices imposed on dominated groups in the United States examines the concept of deculturalization-the use of schools to strip away family languages and cultures and replace them with those of the dominant group. The focus is on the education of dominated groups forced to become citizens in territories conquered by the U.S., including Native Americans, Enslaved Africans, Chinese, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Hawaiians. In 7 concise, thought-provoking chapters, this analysis and documentation of how education is used to change or eliminate linguistic and cultural traditions in the U.S. looks at the educational, legal, and social construction of race and racism in the United States, emphasizing the various meanings of equality that have existed from colonial America to the present. Providing a broader perspective for understanding the denial of cultural and linguistic rights in the United States, issues of language, culture, and deculturalization are placed in a global context. The major change in the 8th Edition is a new chapter, Global Corporate Culture and Separate But Equal, describing how current efforts at deculturalization involve replacing family and personal cultures with a corporate culture to increase worker efficiency. Substantive updates and revisions are made throughout all other chapters Product IdentifiersPublisherTaylor & FrancisISBN-139781138119406eBay Product ID (ePID)221039612Product Key FeaturesAuthorJoel SpringPublication NameDeculturalization and the Struggle for Equality: A Brief History of the Education of Dominated Cultures in the United StatesFormatPaperbackLanguageEnglishSubjectSocial Sciences, Education, Psychology, StrategyPublication Year2016TypeTextbookNumber of Pages174 PagesDimensionsItem Height229mmItem Width152mmItem Weight272gAdditional Product FeaturesTitle_AuthorJoel SpringSeries TitleSociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in EducationCountry/Region of ManufactureUnited Kingdom
