This book provides a history of the Quaker educator and intercultural education pioneer Rachel Davis DuBois (1892-1993) that explores the period in which DuBois lived and the key works she created. The opening section establishes the disciplinary contexts of her work, education, and folklore, and the subsequent sections present DuBois' pedagogical methods as they were developed and exemplified by her programs. Throughout the narrative, Rosenberg includes reflections on her own experience as a practitioner of the intercultural and folklife education DuBois championed.

“This book will be valued for its contribution to the history of intercultural education; however, its pedagogical and democratic contributions are most important. ... Rosenberg’s book makes a timely contribution to these efforts by providing foundational framing of the vital concept of cultural democracy and highlighting the place of folklore in it.” (Journal of Folklore Research, November 19, 2020)
