This book explores the fascinating and complex interactions between
the ways that culture and education operate within and across
societies. In some cases, education is imagined as an integrated
part of general cultural phenomena; in others, educational
interventions become the means for transforming the cultural
circumstances of different populations. The contributors to this
volume show how certain educational practices produce new cultural
and professional knowledge; discuss the impacts of initially
foreign educational ideas and institutions on established cultural
institutions in very different societies; and explore the impacts
of modernity and modern educational ideas on more traditional
gendered and religious practices and communities. The book also
provided striking examples of when these impacts were not benign.
Increasingly powerful twentieth-century governments attempted to
use education and schools to produce new, reformed citizens
suitable for their newly created colonial, national, socialist, and
fascist states. The expectation was that cultural and social
transformation might be engineered, in major part, through
schooling. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Paedagogica Historica.
