Description and Table of Contents
Description
Education, in all its varied forms, has played a leading role in fostering change in Latin American society. In Molding the Hearts and Minds, fifteen essays by leading scholars examine how education has influenced the history of Latin America, from the schools of the nineteenth century to today's bureaucracy. The essays are divided into sections covering the past two centuries: 'The Colonial Legacy and the Nineteenth Century,' 'Universities in Ferment,' 'Revolution,' and 'The Problems of Institutionalization.' This volume will be welcomed by historians, Latin Americanists, and comparative education scholars.
