The Autobiography Of Citizenship: Assimilation And Resistance In U.S. Education (The American Literatures Initiative) - 9780813570143

At the turn of the twentieth century, America was faced with a radically mixed population, one with a disturbing new mix of races and religions. In The Autobiography of Citizenship, Tova Cooper looks at how citizen education programs tried to impose unity on this divergent population, and how the new citizens in turn often resisted these efforts, embracing their own view of what it means to be an American.
