Beschreibungen/Notizen
The literary work of Anzia Yezierska is relevant to the fields of composition, rhetoric, and literacy. Partly in dialogue with the philosophy of John Dewey, it reveals the tensions and conflicts inherent in progressive education, emphasizing how these were viewed through the lens of the immigrant student. Yezierska shows that pedagogical progressivism has had tremendous potential to tap into students' lived experiences and transform them into more fully realized, engaged citizens, even as she also shows that such power has been constrained by institutional structures. (Contains 13 notes.)
