Table of ContentsReviewsRon Evans has crafted what will surely become the seminal answers to the questions 'Where did the new social studies come from and why should we care?' In this important, carefully researched, and well-written book, Evans situates the 40 federally funded curriculum projects that together came to be known as the 'new social studies' in historical context, drawing attention to their conservative origins, the many ways in which they were pedagogically progressive, and the reasons why they did not have the long-term impact so many educators hoped for and expected. This well-researched and lively book is important for all social studies educators who seek to learn from the past in order to create a better social studies future. --Diana Hess, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison <p> Ron Evans has crafted what will surely become the seminal answers to the questions 'Where did the new social studies come from and why should we care?'
