The Symbiotic Embrace: American Indians, White Educators, and the School, 1820-1920s.
Coleman, Michael C.
History of Education, v25 n1 p1-18 Mar 1996
Criticizes recent attempts to redefine the forced education of American Indians as a triumph of Indian coping strategies and adjustment. While admitting that the process was more complex and symbiotic than earlier models suggested, still maintains that the U.S. government exerted more control than did the Indians. (MJP)
