This is a history with a present-day purpose. In Reconstructing
American Education, historian Michael Katz attacks the
once-standard view of American educational history as a story of
progressive improvement. In its place he substitutes a critical
account of how big-city school systems turned into increasingly
unwieldy bureaucracies in the nineteenth century.

Bound to stimulate a new rush of polemic commentary… Katz makes a
strong case for a constructive role that could be played by
reasonable historians.
