Beskrivning
This definitive biography of the charismatic Alexander Meiklejohn tracks his turbulent career as an educational innovator at Brown University, Amherst College, and the University of Wisconsin's 'Experimental College' in the early twentieth century and his later work as a civil libertarian in the Joe McCarthy era. The central question Meiklejohn asked throughout his life's work remains essential today: How can education teach citizens to be free?

Recensioner i media

Intellectual biography at its best. Nelson has presented us with the whole Meiklejohn, warts and all. - E. David Cronon, editor of Twentieth Century America ""Meiklejohn... experimented throughout his life with teaching curriculum and institutional organization in an effort to create educational programs that inspired people to create democratic societies.... Nelson has done a great service to Meiklejohn's memory by capturing student voices and allowing them to evoke Meiklejohn at his best - as a teacher and scholar of ethics and democracy."" - Mary Ann Dzuback, Journal of American History
