James Anderson critically reinterprets the history of southern
black education from Reconstruction to the Great Depression. By
placing black schooling within a political, cultural, and economic
context, he offers fresh insights into black commitment to
education, the peculiar significance of Tuskegee Institute, and the
conflicting goals of various philanthropic groups, among other
matters. Initially, ex-slaves attempted to create an educational
system that would support and extend their emancipation, but their
children were pushed into a system of industrial education that
presupposed black political and economic subordination. This
conception of education and social order--supported by northern
industrial philanthropists, some black educators, and most southern
school officials--conflicted with the aspirations of ex-slaves and
their descendants, resulting at the turn of the century in a bitter
national debate over the purposes of black education. Because
blacks lacked economic and political power, white elites were able
to control the structure and content of black elementary,
secondary, normal, and college education during the first third of
the twentieth century. Nonetheless, blacks persisted in their
struggle to develop an educational system in accordance with their
own needs and desires. |James Anderson critically reinterprets the
