Bøker av Thomas D. Fallace

Examines the period between World War I and the 1980s, focusing on how US schools countered the influence of fascist and communist ideologies, as well as racial discrimination. The author also considers this approach in light of current-day interests in the Common Core State Standards.

Traces how John Dewey, like most of his contemporaries, struggled with the major dilemma of how to reconcile evolution, pedagogy, democracy, and race. The author seeks to capture Dewey's original meaning by placing him in his own intellectual and cultural context. Dewey and the Dilemma of Race is the first comprehensive intellectual biography to trace the development of Dewey's educational views.
