Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience 1875-1928 by David Wallace Adams (2nd edition)
Reviews:
"What a triumph! Adams has masterfully reworked, reinterpreted, and reframed an enlarged version of his classic book by drawing on new research by Indian and non-Indian scholars over the past twenty-five years. Education for Extinction is a foundational study for anyone interested in boarding schools, Indian education, and American history."--Clifford E. Trafzer, distinguished professor of history and Rupert Costo Chair in American Indian Affairs, University of California, Riverside
"For more than twenty years, Education for Extinction has been revered by scholars and students alike as the most comprehensive and highly respected book on the federal government's off-reservation Indian boarding school system. Now in a revised and expanded form, the book draws on newly uncovered archival materials and places this history within the growing literature of Indian education and boarding school studies. No other book on this topic comes close to its literary depth, scholarly rigor, or historical significance. It is and will forever be a foundational text in the field and will continue to enlighten and influence the way we understand this important era of US and American Indian history."--Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, author of Hopi Runners: Crossing the Terrain between Indian and American
