Although the early history of progressive education is often
associated with John Dewey in America, the author argues
convincingly that the pedagogues in the elementary schools in the
big cities of Imperial Germany were in the avant-garde of this
movement on the European Continent. Far more than a history of
ideas, this study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the
culture wars over the schools in Germany in the 1920s. Going up to
the Nazi seizure of power, the author's narrative sheds new light
on the courageous defense of the republican state by the
progressive educators in the 1930s and the relationship between the
traditionalists' opposition to school reform and the attraction of
certain sections of the teaching profession to the Nazi movement.
