Migration and common schooling in urban America
This article juxtaposes two U.S. cities’ differing educational reactions to mass migrations prior to the Progressive Era. During the nineteenth century, Boston, Massachusetts, developed a model urban education system, one that was visited and replicated throughout the nation. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Boston was a relatively communal city in which a small group of elites dominated civic life. As waves of poor, rural New Englande…
Rethinking borders and boundaries for a mobile history of education
National borders and school boundaries are integral components of the history of education. Configured as sites of governance and regulation, as spaces of continuity and order, they also introduced a sedentary bias into much historical research. This article presents an argument for writing migrants, migration, and human mobility into the history of education. It does so by drawing on an eclectic range of work associated with the study of migrati…
Americanization
“Americanization” is the term used to describe the heavy‐handed form of social and cultural assimilation that immigrants and other minority groups were expected to undergo in the United States particularly throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This entry examines the Americanization movement's history and contemporary manifestations.
Toiling together for social cohesion
This article examines the ways in which the very idea of teacher education in the United States was transplanted from foreign lands. Teacher education, particularly normal school training, was based on a model imported from despotic Prussia, a model that was popularised by French and American visitors to the northeastern German land. Although normal schooling naturally was altered in the American context, the subsequent forms of teacher training,…
Improving and Embellishing the Wilderness”
This article examines the westward imposition of specific kinds of land use by focusing on the Harmony Society's transformation of Posey County, Indiana. The German pietistic society carried their vision of proper land use from Europe to Pennsylvania and, in 1814, to what was then considered the West: Indiana Territory. During their decade in Indiana, the Harmonists attempted to exploit, control, and beautify the natural environment. The goal of …
Young-In Oh. Struggles over Immigrants' Language
Young-In Oh's Struggles over Immigrants' Language is an insightful and focused study of literacy tests in the United States that partially fills a void in the immigration historiography. Compared with other aspects of immigrants' daily experiences, Oh notes, “the role of language ... has not received a great deal of attention” (p. 149), a point echoed by other historians working on linguistic issues (Carlos Blanton, The Strange Career of Bilingua…
In the Region of Babel
The city was to be “called Babel,” according to the book of Genesis, “because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth.” Although the Midwest of the nineteenth century had never been “of one language, and of one speech” as the ancient city with the tower to heaven, America's heartland was confounded by linguistic diversity, particularly as more and more immigrants poured into the region after the 1830s. Yet, these foreign-languag…
Plato and the Modern American “Right”
Madness is something rare in individuals—but in groups, parties, peoples, ages it is the rule. —Friedrich Nietzsche (1886/2003, 156) One of the most memorable parts of the Republic is Plato's (1992
