"How are ideas about education and democracy configured and reconfigured as they travel?
Democracy and the Intersection of Religion and Traditions looks at the work of John
Dewey, the renowned philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, and the ways
in which his educational ideas and democratic ideals have been configured and reconfigured,
adopted, and interpreted in different historical and cultural spaces." "Using case
studies of China, Spain, and the American Interdenominational Committee on Cooperation
in Latin America, the four authors explore the ways in which each alternative reading
of Dewey's ideas was nested in the regionally dominant ideologies that preceded the
arrival of his work and show that interpretations of his work developed differently
in each setting, as a means of adapting to local needs." "Democracy and the Intersection
of Religion and Traditions challenges us to think in new ways about how ideas are
configured in historical contexts and how their interpretation is mediated by specific
beliefs and historical circumstances."--BOOK JACKET
