Compare State Society and the Elementary School in Imperial Germany by Marjorie Lamberti, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The much admired school system of 19th-century Germany served as a model for the educational systems of many other countries, including Britain and the United States. In this illuminating study of German primary schools, Lamberti examines an educational tradition that was the object of wideemulation, but which was often misinterpreted by its admirers. Lamberti also explores the political significance of German educational policies in the Kulturkampf, in the suppression of Polish nationalism in the eastern provinces, and more generally in the struggle between the competing strands ofliberalism and authoritarianism in the German state. | State Society and the Elementary School in Imperial Germany by Marjorie Lamberti, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
