Rezension


“In this important book, Heffron upends the received narrative of a triumphant North reforming the South in the years after the Civil War, showing how Northern industrialists drew on the Southern tradition as a model for the nation in the late nineteenth century. He demonstrates how the most powerful force in national school reform during this era—the General Education Board lavishly funded by the Rockefellers—promoted a Dixie-based model of progressive schooling that featured vocationalism, racial and ethnic paternalism, class hierarchy, and traditional religious values. The result was a triumph of Southern culture rising from the ashes of military defeat.” —David F. Labaree, author of
A Perfect Mess: The Unlikely Ascendancy of American Higher Education

“Heffron shatters familiar narratives of white supremacy in the shaping of a nation. His authoritative literature surveys enable significant contributions, but he gives readers more. Using education as his lens lets him bare depths of America’s ‘original sin’ and its costs. Losses overlapped regions and races in forming a stubbornly dysfunctional culture that cast doubt on the reform neutrality of philanthropy, big business, and science. The lessons proved hard to learn.” —Donald Warren, University of Indiana Bloomington
“What shall we do about the ‘backwards’ South? One of the enduring myths of American life—and, too often, of American historians—is that the South lags behind, especially when it comes to education. But as Heffron shows, Southerners pioneered practices and themes that the rest of the country would eventually embrace. Hardly the caboose of progress, as Northerners imagined, the South was often its engine. If you want to track the development of American education, in a fresh and fascinating way, read this bold and original book. It will take you to places you hadn’t imagined.” —Jon Zimmerman, University of Pennsylvania
