The book uses the Philippine colonial experience as a case study, and includes a genealogy of Hannah Arendt's concept of the 'social', including an analysis of how she used this idea to explore the role that schools play within the political community. Azada-Palacios problematizes the way that national identity is valued as an educational goal in Philippine schools and the way that Philippine citizenship education continues to aspire towards a homogeneity of culture. Through an examination of colonial-era documents, she traces this characteristic of colonial history, and identifies this aspiration as an unreflective perpetuation of American colonial educational policy that has not been sufficiently criticized.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49523000803555,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781350433311","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
