Offering a novel take on the history of education in the US, A
History of Education for the Many examines the development of the
education system from a global and internationalist perspective.
Challenging the dominant narratives that such development is the
product of either a flourishing democracy or a ruling-class project
to reproduce structural inequalities, this book demonstrates the
link between education and the struggles of working-class and
oppressed peoples inside and outside the US. In a country notorious
for educating its people with an inability to see beyond its own
borders, this book offers a timely corrective by focusing on the
primacy of the global balances of forces in shaping the history of
US education. Combining Marx’s dialectic with W.E.B. Du Bois’
historiographical approach, Malott demonstrates how the mighty
agency of the world’s poor and oppressed have forced the hand of
the US ruling class in foreign policy and domestic educational
policies. Malott offers a unique view of the dialectical
development of social control by examining the role of the police
and state violence, along with education or ideology over time.
This situates the 2020 uprisings against racism and the movements
to defund the police within a historical context dating back to
eighteenth-century slave patrols. As US imperialism declines in the
21st century and social movements across the globe continue to
swell and intensify, Malott’s historical analysis looks backwards
as it pushes us, optimistically and realistically, forwards towards
a liberated future. The eBook editions of this book are available
