Description: As the issue of school reform grows ever more intense it is imperative that we learn what we can from previous efforts. The "new social studies" was a 1960s attempt to transform the teaching of history and the social sciences in schools. With origins in the Cold War the movement sought to develop critical thinkers through "inquiry" and "discovery." Though it led to a veritable treasure trove of innovative materials the "revolution" envisioned by its proponents never materialized. Engagingly written and drawing on previously untapped archival sources The Hope for American School Reform offers an insightful perspective on current trends.
