Individual lives within collective social activism & values.
| Customer Rating: | | Francis Feeley's REBELS WITH CAUSES is indispensable reading for those interested in 20th Century French social history and, also, for readers interested in comparative education. At a time in American history when schools are in crisis and collective social values have been severely diminished by the policy makers of this country, Feeley's book reminds us that alternative approaches to education are possible and that individuals who work to live out their ideals _will_ influence the world around them. This book explains why the capitalist value of individual upward mobility never took over French public education. |
Original insight on a key figure of France's Third Republic
| Customer Rating: | | This book successfully deals with the primary school teacher, a living incarnation of the French republican ideals. This central figure in the history of France's Third Republic helps us understand such a crucial current as the pacifism that preceded World War I. >Francis Feeley, working on little known sources, brings to light many aspects often played down by French historians. Carefully following the lives and ideals of some leaders of the movement, this book brightly illustrates the importance of social and intellectual history both to historians and activists. > > Ronald Creagh, > Professor emeritus > Universite Paul Valery, Montpellier (France) |
