John Dewey Lecture Series
Dewey and
the Dilemma of Race
An Intellectual History, 1895–1922
Thomas D. Fallace
Foreword by Robert Westbrook
”It’s not often that
a scholarly book
elicits a deeply
satisfied ‘wow!’
from its readers,
but this is the
effect that [this
book] had on
me...a must-read
for educators,
philosophers, and historians.”
—History of Education Quarterly
This is the first comprehensive
intellectual biography to trace the
development of Dewey’s educational
views. Filling an important
gap in our understanding of
Dewey’s thinking on culture and
race, this book will be of interest to
a broad range of educators, historians,
philosophers, and scholars.
