Reconstructing the Brazilian Nation

Prof. Dr. Jens R. Hentschke

doi:10.5771/9783845204819

Summary

Hentschkes Studie über Bildungspolitik in Brasilien unter Getúlio Vargas geht weiter über die reine Analyse von nationalen Debatten, Institutionen und Gesetzen hinaus: Das Werk thematisiert sowohl die Wirkung regionaler Politik auf die „nationale Rekonstruktion“ des Landes als auch das beschränkte Ausmaß, in dem die Politik tatsächlich auf regionaler, kommunaler und individueller Schulebene umgesetzt wurde.
