Description

This Routledge book by Peter Smagorinsky and Joel Taxel examines how character education has evolved in the United States from historical roots through the contemporary movement that emerged in the 1990s. The authors analyse the ideological foundations underlying different approaches to character education, tracing how current debates connect to centuries-old discussions about character education and national purpose. The work explores these discourses within the broader context of the Culture Wars, revealing the deeper historical continuities that shape contemporary educational policy and practice. Essential reading for educators, policymakers, and scholars seeking to understand the philosophical and cultural dimensions of character education reform.
