Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Modern science has shown that within the child's soul lies magically locked up all the past of our race; also, it is evident that within it lies all the future of our race. What our children are now being made is what America will be.' -Upton Sinclair, The Goslings In The Goslings: A Study of American Schools (1924), Upton Sinclair examines how American industry influences public schools, asserting that 'an 'invisible' government' of big business . . . has taken over the charge of your children.' The book describes the influence of industry with examples from schools of several major cities. Also included are sections that examine what and how a variety of forces shape education. It is one in a series of six books the author wrote, analyzing American institutions from a socialist perspective. Other books in this muckraking Dead-Hand collection, include: The Profits of Religion (religion, 1917), The Brass Check (journalism, 1919), The Goose Step (education, 1923), Mammonart (art, 1925), and Money Writes!

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Goslings' is a penetrating investigation into the American public school system, written by the renowned social critic and muckraker Upton Sinclair. In this provocative study, Sinclair examines the institutional forces-ranging from political interests to corporate influence-that shape the educational landscape. He argues that the school system serves as a breeding ground for conformity, often prioritizing the maintenance of the status quo over genuine intellectual growth and democratic inquiry.Sinclair employs his characteristic investigative rigor to uncover the ways in which textbooks, curricula, and administrative policies are manipulated to serve specific ideological ends. By exploring the relationship between power and pedagogy, the work highlights the challenges facing teachers and the systemic pressures that stifle creative and critical thinking in students. 'The Goslings' remains a significant historical document and a foundational text for those interested in the sociology of education and the ongoing debate over the purpose of schooling in a democratic society. Through compelling anecdotes and sharp analysis, Sinclair calls for a reevaluation of how we nurture the minds of future generations, making it essential reading for educators, reformers, and social historians alike.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Goslings: A Study of the American Schools' is a provocative and investigative exploration into the foundational structures of the United States educational system. Written by the renowned muckraking author Upton Sinclair, this work serves as a companion to his earlier critique of higher education, 'The Goose-Step.' In this volume, Sinclair turns his analytical gaze toward primary and secondary schools, arguing that the American classroom had become a battleground for ideological control and corporate influence.Through a series of detailed case studies and biting commentary, Sinclair examines how powerful financial interests and the 'invisible government' shaped curricula, influenced teacher behavior, and dictated the administrative policies of school boards across the country. The title refers to the students-the 'goslings'-who Sinclair feared were being herded into a system designed more for industrial compliance than for independent thought or democratic citizenship.This work remains a significant historical document, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of socialism, educational theory, and social reform in the early twentieth century. It provides essential reading for those interested in the history of education, the evolution of public policy, and the enduring debate over who should control the minds of the nation's youth.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
