Social Paralysis and Social Change
Author: Neil J. Smelser
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520911547
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
Neil Smelser's Social Paralysis and Social Change is one of the most comprehensive histories of mass education ever written. It tells the story of how working-class education in nineteenth-century Britain—often paralyzed by class, religious, and economic conflict—struggled forward toward change. This book is ambitious in scope. It is both a detailed history of educational development and a theoretical study of social change, at once a case study of Britain and a comparative study of variations within Britain. Smelser simultaneously meets the scholarly standards of historians and critically addresses accepted theories of educational change—"progress," conflict, and functional theories. He also sheds new light on the process of secularization, the relations between industrialization and education, structural differentiation, and the role of the state in social change. This work marks a return for the author to the same historical arena—Victorian Britain—that inspired his classic work Social Change in the Industrial Revolution thirty-five years ago. Smelser's research has again been exhaustive. He has achieved a remarkable synthesis of the huge body of available materials, both primary and secondary. Smelser's latest book will be most controversial in its treatment of class as a primordial social grouping, beyond its economic significance. Indeed, his demonstration that class, ethnic, and religious groupings were decisive in determining the course of British working-class education has broad-ranging implications. These groupings remain at the heart of educational conflict, debate, and change in most societies—including our own—and prompt us to pose again and again the chronic question: who controls the educational terrain?

Anglesey
Author: David A. Pretty
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
"Geography has accorded Anglesey a greater sense of identity than other counties of Wales. Despite its relative isolation, Anglesey gained early recognition. As the last stronghold of the Druids it became a target for the Roman legions. Viking connections gave the island its English name. During the Age of the Princes the supremacy of Aberffraw overshadowed all other Welsh seats of government. Beaumaris castle stands as a symbol of the English conquest, built to quash the spirit of independence." "Other forces would exert a decisive influence: the strong maritime links, industrialization associated with copper mining at Parys Mountain, improved communications following the spanning of the Menai Straits, and the impact of two World Wars. All are given their vital place alongside developments in social and economic life, religion, education, politics and Welsh culture. This is the first book to present an integrated outline survey of Anglesey's history from prehistoric times to the changes and challenges of the modern age."--BOOK JACKET.
