Description

Product Description This pathbreaking textbook addresses key issues which have often been condemned to exceptions and footnotes―if not ignored completely―in historical considerations of U.S. higher education; particularly race, ethnicity, gender, and class. Organized thematically, this book builds from the ground up, shedding light on the full, diverse range of institutions―including small liberal arts schools, junior and community colleges, black and white women’s colleges, black colleges, and state colleges―that have been instrumental in creating the higher education system we know today. A People’s History of American Higher Education surveys the varied characteristics of the diverse populations constituting or striving for the middle class through educational attainment, providing a narrative that unites often divergent historical fields. The author engages readers in a powerful, revised understanding of what institutions and participants beyond the oft-cited elite groups have done for American higher education. A People’s History of American Higher Education focuses on those participants who may not have been members of elite groups, yet who helped push elite institutions and the country as a whole. Hutcheson introduces readers to both social and intellectual history, providing invaluable perspectives and methodologies for graduate students and faculty members alike. This essential history of American higher education brings a fresh perspective to the field, challenging the accepted ways of thinking historically about colleges and universities. Review Philo Hutcheson does not offer yet another account of higher education in the U.S. that focuses primarily on elite institutions, leaders, and students in which stories about their diversity are sprinkled like a final pinch of seasoning. Instead, in A People's History of American Higher Education, he radically reconceives this history by centering his attention on a beautifully diverse range of historical players and revealing their fundamental importance. I am eager to bring Hutcheson's thematically-driven, compelling, and witty account to the students in my history of higher education classes.-Jackie Blount, Professor, Department of Educational Studies, The Ohio State University About the Author Philo A. Hutcheson is Professor of Higher Education at the University of Alabama.
