About this book

Education and Democracy: The Meaning of Alexander Meiklejohn, 1872–1964 by Nelson, Adam R.. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780299171407.

This definitive biography of the charismatic Alexander Meiklejohn tracks his turbulent career as an educational innovator at Brown University, Amherst College, and Wisconsin’s “Experimental College” in the early twentieth century and his later work as a civil libertarian in the Joe McCarthy era. The central question Meiklejohn asked throughout his life’s work remains essential today: How can education teach citizens to be free?
