- Summary:
- "This book examines how America's imagined frontier history shaped the thinking of philosopher John Dewey. It explores how America's most prominent philosopher of democracy and education articulated his ideas in part by invoking imaginary Indians, while utterly failing to account for his Indigenous contemporary's struggle to achieve self-determination in school"--Publisher's description.
