{"product_id":"the-modern-school-movement-paul-avrich-9781904859093","title":"The Modern School Movement: Anarchism and Education in the United States","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on extensive interviews with former pupils and teachers, this Pulitzer Prize-nominated work is a seminal and important investigation into the potential of educational alternatives. Between 1910 and 1960 anarchists across the United States established more than 20 schools wherein children studied in an atmosphere of freedom and self-reliance. The Modern Schools stood in sharp contrast to the formality and discipline of the traditional classroom and sought to abolish all forms of authority. Their object was to create not only a new type of school, but also a new society based on the voluntary cooperation of free individuals. Among the participants were Emma Goldman, Margaret Sanger, Alexander Berkman and Man Ray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Avrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904859097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904859093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AK Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.96w x 1.08d","brand":"Paul Avrich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046454620415,"sku":"9781904859093","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbd6096d-f73c-45e2-8736-04edbe7631c8.jpg?v=1684984657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-modern-school-movement-paul-avrich-9781904859093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
