This important contribution to scholarship in social science
history examines the development of public education in
nineteenth-century Massachusetts. Until the 1950s educational
historians emphasized the relationship of schooling to the
political system and the development of a common American culture.
In recent years a social history perspective has emerged that
stresses the socioeconomic influences that tie education to other
institutions and processes in society rather than to political
ideals. Carl Kaestle's and Maris Vinovskis's study is firmly
grounded in this newer perspective. However, their work questions
the adequacy of any single-factor explanation of the broad
educational changes that occurred during this period - whether it
be the emergence of factory production or the broader concept of
modernization. They argue that these educational changes were the
result of the complex interaction of cultural, demographic and
economic variables operating in varying ways in different
communities over time. Ethnicity, religion, urban status, the
occupational structure, income distribution and wealth of the
community all emerge as significant factors in this interaction.
