Informationen zum Autor Joel Spring is a Professor at Queens College/City University of New York and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, USA. Zusammenfassung Joel Spring’s history of school polices imposed on dominated groups in the United States examines the concept of deculturalization—the use of schools to strip away family languages and cultures and replace them with those of the dominant group. The focus is on the education of dominated groups forced to become citizens in territories conquered by the U.S., including Native Americans, Enslaved Africans, Chinese, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Hawaiians. In 7 concise, thought-provoking chapters, this analysis and documentation of how education is used to change or eliminate linguistic and cultural traditions in the U.S. looks at the educational, legal, and social construction of race and racism in the United States, emphasizing the various meanings of "equality" that have existed from colonial America to the present. Providing a broader perspective for understanding the denial of cultural and linguistic rights in the United States, issues of language, culture, and deculturalization are placed in a global context. The major change in the 8th Edition is a new chapter, "Global Corporate Culture and Separate But Equal," describing how current efforts at deculturalization involve replacing family and personal cultures with a corporate culture to increase worker efficiency. Substantive updates and revisions are made throughout all other chapters Inhaltsverzeichnis PREFACE 1 Deculturalization and the Claim of Racial and Cultural Superiority by Anglo-Americans Culture and Race as Central Issues in U.S. History and Education Globalization: The Meaning of "Uncivilized" and "Pagan" Anglo-Saxon Concepts of Cultural and Religious Superiority Race, Racism, and Citizenship The Meaning of Equality Globalization and Culture: Cultural Genocide, Deculturalization, Assimilation, Cultural Pluralism, Denial of Education, and Hybridization Deculturalization and Democratic Thought The Naturalization Act of 1790 and What It Means to Be White Education and Creation of an Anglo-American Culture Educational and Cultural Differences Early Native American Educational Programs Schooling and the Colonization of the "Five Civilized Tribes" Conclusion 2 Native Americans: Deculturalization, Schooling, Globalization, and Inequality Citizenship in the New Republic Thomas L.
