Elusive Equity chronicles South Africa's efforts to fashion a racially equitable state education system from the ashes of apartheid. The policymakers who came to power with Nelson Mandela in 1994 inherited and education system designed to further the racist goals of apartheid. Their massive challenge was to transform that system, which lavished human and financial resources on schools serving white students while systematically starving those serving African, coloured, and Indian learners, into one that would offer quality education to all persons, regardless of their race.
Edward Fiske and Helen Ladd describe and evaluate the strategies that South Africa pursued in its quest for racial equity. They draw on previously unpublished data, interviews with key officials, and visits to dozens of schools to describe the changes made in school finance, teacher assignment policies, governance, curriculum, higher education, and other areas. They conclude that the country has made remarkable progress toward equity in the sense of equal treatment of persons of all races. For several reasons, however, the country has been far less successful in promoting equal educational opportunity or educational adequacy. Thus equity has remained elusive.
The book is unique in combining the perceptive observations of a skilled education journalist with the analytical skills of an academic policy expert. Richly textured descriptions of how South Africa's education reforms have affected schools at the grass-roots level are combined with careful analysis of enrollment, governance, and budget data at the school, provincial, and national levels. The result is a compelling and comprehensive study of South Africa's first decade of education reform in the post-apartheid period.

Описание: Fiske (1842-1901) was an American philosopher and historian born in Hartford, Connecticut. As a child he exhibited remarkable precocity, and graduated from Harvard College in 1863 and from Harvard Law School in 1865. Although admitted to the Suffolk bar in 1864 he never practised. His writing career began in 1861 with an article published in the National Quarterly Review and from that time on he was a frequent contributor to American and British periodicals. From 1869-71 he was lecturer on philosophy at Harvard, in 1870 instructor in history there, and assistant librarian from 1872-79. On resigning the latter position he was elected a member of the board of overseers and was re-elected in 1885. From 1881 he lectured annually on American history at Washington University, St Louis and in 1884 held a professorship in the subject at that institution whilst still making his home in Cambridge, Mass. He went on to give many hundreds of lectures chiefly upon American history in the principal cities of the USA and Britain. Whilst his major area of study was history, he had from an early age taken a keen interest in evolution, applying himself to the philosophical interpretation of Darwin's work and producing many books and essays on the subject. This work, subtitled The Puritan Theocracy in its Relations to Civil and Religious Liberty, was first published in 1889 and is reprinted from an edition of 1892.

Описание: Northern China in 1900. The nation is in turmoil, the failing Manchu dynasty struggles to survive in the face of poverty and social disintegration coupled with foreign encroachments, the ancient traditions of China seem powerless against the onslaught of the modern world. From the countryside comes a response: the brutal, quasi-religious movement of Chinese peasants known as Boxers, who seek to rid the country of foreign influence by any means necessary. American missionaries James and Dorothy Cooper have been in China for five years, maintaining their small school and clinic and laboring to spread the gospel, but the Boxers' violent fury cuts short their mission, and their son Wayland is left barely clinging to life. Rescued by a kindly Chinese passerby, Wayland begins his recovery, but tensions remain high in the still-simmering city of Tianjin, and Wayland's new Chinese family has dark secrets of their own. He soon finds himself in the middle of a deadly dispute between two martial arts masters, and his own fate will hinge on the outcome. Wayland must navigate between two worlds, and arms himself with the powerful secrets of Chinese martial arts.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, the young American student Daniel Willard Fiske left college to embark on a sojourn in Denmark and Sweden that would eventually lead, in 1879, to a lengthy visit to Iceland. By then, Fiske had become Cornell University's first university librarian and professor of Northern European languages, and had established the foremost book collection in private hands in America on Iceland and the medieval Norse world.
Krist n Bragad ttir explores in depth Fiske's fascination with Iceland and the Icelanders, with their language and literature, describing with admiration the solicitude this remarkable American intellectual, brilliant linguist, astute bibliophile, and enthusiastic chess advocate manifested for the remote island community as it fledged from a distant Danish dependency into a nation on the path of cultural and political self-determination.
