- catalog abstract "The history of education, as it has been conceived and taught in the United States (and in the West, generally), has focused almost entirely on the ways in which our own educational tradition emerged, developed, and changed over the course of the centuries. Although understandable, this means that the many other ways that societies have sought to meet the same challenges have been ignored. This book seeks to redress this oversight by providing a brief yet comprehensive review of a small number of other, non-Western approaches to educational thought and practice. Understanding the ways that other peoples have tried to educate their children - as well as what counted for them as "education"--May help us to think more clearly about some of our own assumptions and values. It should also help us to become more open to alternative viewpoints about important educational matters.".
