Education for Empire brings together topics in American history
often treated separately: schools, race, immigration, and empire
building. During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, American
imperial ambitions abroad expanded as the country's public school
system grew. How did this imperialism affect public education?
School officials, teachers, and textbook authors used public
education to place children, both native and foreign-born, on
multiple uneven paths to citizenship. Using case studies from
around the country, Clif Stratton deftly shows that public
schooling and colonialism were intimately intertwined. This book
reveals how students - from Asians in the U.S. West and Hawai'i to
blacks in the South, Mexicans in the Southwest, and Puerto Ricans
in the Caribbean and New York City - grappled with the expectations
of citizenship imposed by nationalist professionals at the helm of
curriculum and policy. Students of American history, American
studies, and the history of education will find Education for
Empire an eminently valuable book.
