This book explores the rich history and depth of the educational
field of social studies in the United States and examines its
capacity to moderate modern-day anti-democratic forces through a
commitment to civic education. Drawing out key significant
historical moments within the development of social studies
education, it provides a compelling historical narrative of the
ideas that shaped the unique curricular field of social studies
education. This book resynthesizes each historical stage to show
how it resonates with contemporary life and effectively helps
readers bridge the gap between theory and practice. Focusing on the
key ideas of the field, and the primary individuals who championed
those ideas, the author provides a clear, concise, and sharply
pointed encounter with social studies education that illuminates
the connection from research to practice. Researchers of social
studies education will find this book to be a worthy contribution
to the ever-important struggle to better understand the type of
civic education necessary for the perpetuation of democratic life
in the United States. It will also appeal to educational
researchers and teacher educators with interests in the history of
education, teacher education, civic education, moral education and
democracy.
