EDUCATION AND THE CULTURE OF PRINT IN MODERN AMERICA

These nine essays examine "how print educates” in settings as diverse as depression-era work camps, religious training, and broadcast television, all the while revealing the enduring tensions that exist among the controlling interests of print producers and consumers. Offering multiple perspectives, including print culture history, literary studies, labour history, gender history, the history of race, and the history of childhood and adolescence, this is a pioneering investigation into the intersection of education and print culture.
