  • Provides balanced, in-depth coverage of the entire history of social studies education in the modern era, from the late 19th century to the present—the first book of its kind.
  • Analyzes the underlying historical, societal, and cultural contexts in which the social studies curriculum has evolved over time.
  • Addresses the failure of social studies to reach its potential for dynamic teaching because of a lack of consensus in the field.
