Creating the Practical Man of Modernity

The Reception of John Dewey's Pedagogy in Mexico

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focused on the appropriation of John Dewey's ideas on progressive education in revolutionary Mexico, this book examines the use of Dewey in Mexico's state-building projects as a vantage point to assess the global impact of Dewey's pedagogy as these projects converged with Dewey's desire to employ education as a tool for effective social change, understood by foreign interlocutors of Dewey as modernity.
