Jones, Sandra Elaine – Community Literacy Journal, 2014

Weiler, Kathleen – Gender and Education, 2014
Historical memory is constantly being reframed though images and objects presented as capturing the past. In the USA, the nineteenth-century country or one-room school has come to symbolize an authentic American experience and seen as evidence of the lost pure and simpler time.

I argue that the United States, and the…

In this article the author speaks to the teaching of Barack Obama in U.S. schools.
