Gary, Indiana was founded in 1906, and was part of the US Steel
Corporation's plan to build the world's largest steel mill. The
city's school system became world-famous as a progressive
educational experiment until the 1930s when a changing political
and economic climate led to an erosion of the system, which faced a
serious overcrowding crisis in the 1950s.
Blending social and intellectual history, Ronald Cohen examines the
economic, political, and cultural context of the unique educational
experience developed in this urban industrial center. Cohen
demonstrates that while various interest groups - local as well as
national - helped mold educational policies and practices, the Gary
schools operated within the framework of corporate capitalism.
Despite their early experimental nature, the Gary schools
exemplified the rise of mass education in a multi-racial,
multi-ethnic, class structure and urban setting.
