This pathbreaking textbook addresses key issues which have often
been condemned to exceptions and footnotes-if not ignored
completely-in historical considerations of U.S. higher education;
particularly race, ethnicity, gender, and class. Organized
thematically, this book builds from the ground up, shedding light
on the full, diverse range of institutions-including small liberal
arts schools, junior and community colleges, black and white
women's colleges, black colleges, and state colleges-that have been
instrumental in creating the higher education system we know today.
A People's History of American Higher Education surveys the varied
characteristics of the diverse populations constituting or striving
for the middle class through educational attainment, providing a
narrative that unites often divergent historical fields. The author
engages readers in a powerful, revised understanding of what
institutions and participants beyond the oft-cited elite groups
have done for American higher education. A People's History of
American Higher Education focuses on those participants who may not
have been members of elite groups, yet who helped push elite
institutions and the country as a whole. Hutcheson introduces
readers to both social and intellectual history, providing
invaluable perspectives and methodologies for graduate students and
faculty members alike. This essential history of American higher
education brings a fresh perspective to the field, challenging the
accepted ways of thinking historically about colleges and
universities.
