In this major study, Peter Zarrow examines how textbooks published
for the Chinese school system played a major role in shaping new
social, cultural, and political trends, the ways in which schools
conveyed traditional and 'new style' knowledge and how they sought
to socialize students in a rapidly changing society in the first
decades of the twentieth century. Focusing on language, morality
and civics, history, and geography, Zarrow shows that textbooks
were quick to reflect the changing views of Chinese elites during
this period. Officials and educators wanted children to understand
the physical and human worlds, including the evolution of society,
the institutions of the economy, and the foundations of the
nation-state. Through textbooks, Chinese elites sought ways to link
these abstractions to the concrete lives of children, conveying a
variety of interpretations of enlightenment, citizenship, and
nationalism that would shape a generation as modern citizens of a
new China.
