The Universal and the Particular in Education.
Partington, Geoffrey
International Journal of Social Education, v14 n2 p72-86 Fall-Win 1999-2000
Compares two historical reactions from universalism to particularism: (1) the Enlightenment and its rejection by nationalism and romanticism; and (2) liberal education and its rejection as imperialist and patriarchal. Explores the relationships between the West and three groups (South Pacific Islanders, Maori, and Aborigines) that were pre-literate at the time of Western contact. (CMK)
