Making a Mass Institution: Indianapolis and the American High School

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Indianapolis began its secondary system with a singular, decidedly academic high school, but ended the 1960s with multiple high schools with numerous paths to graduation. Making a Mass Institution describes how this process created both a distinct youth culture and a divided and unjust system, one that effectively sorted students geographically, economically, and racially.
