A Kwakiutl Village and School
Author: Harry F. Wolcott
Publisher: Rowman Altamira
ISBN: 9780759105256
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This book is a reprint of a now classic text dealing with Wolcott's dissertation topic on the study of a Kwakiutl Indian village and the one-room school he taught at Village Island in the Alert Bay region of British Columbia. Within the book, Wolcott's interest in anthropology and training as an educator are blended together to present a unique look into the educational training of Indian children. Village life and the social environment from which young Indian children learn cultural conventions are skillfully contrasted with the formal, structured educational system--of which Wolcott as a teacher is part of--within the village. In showing these two opposing educational systems, the author is able to highlight problems that arise and additionally the issues which come from an ethnographer being involved in a situation more than through just observation.

A School in Every Village
Author: Elizabeth R. VanderVen
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 9780774821773
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
In the early 1900s, the Qing dynasty implemented a series of institutional reforms to shore up its power. The most important were anationwide school system and the abolition of the centuries-old civilexaminations. A School in Every Village recounts how villagers and localstate officials in Haicheng County enacted orders to establish ruralprimary schools from 1904 to 1931. In the process, it also addressestopics central to scholarly debates on modern China, includingmodernization, state making, gender, and the impact of Western ideas onlocal society. Elizabeth VanderVen draws on untapped archival materialsto overturn received notions about the modernity-tradition binary inChinese history and about the Chinese state as an unwelcome operator inlocal society. What emerges is a dynamic portrait of interaction andcooperation among state officials, local officials, and villagers, whoplayed a vital role in establishing schools, for both boys and girls,in their communities. Although the Communists, contemporary observers, and more recentscholarship have all depicted rural society as feudal and backward andthe educational reforms of the early twentieth century a failure,VanderVen's provocative study reveals that local communities werecapable of integrating foreign ideas and models into a system that wasat once traditional and modern, Chinese and Western. Elizabeth R. VanderVen is an historian of modern andlate imperial China. She was on the faculty of the History Departmentat Rutgers University, Camden.
