| Résumé: | "At the turn of the twentieth century, the US government viewed education as one sure way of civilizing "others" under its sway-among them American Indians and, after 1898, Filipinos. Teaching Empire considers how teachers took up this task, first at the Carlisle Indian Boarding School in Pennsylvania, opened in 1879, and then in a school system set up amid an ongoing rebellion launched by Filipinos. Drawing upon the records of fifty-five teachers at Carlisle and thirty-three sent to the Philippines-including five who worked in both locations-the book reveals the challenges of translating imperial policy into practice, even for those most dedicated to the imperial mission."-- |
