Like most U.S. cities, Indianapolis began its secondary system with a singular, decidedly academic high school, but ended the 1960s with multiple high schools with numerous paths to graduation. Some of the schools were academic, others vocational, and others still for what was eventually called \"life adjustment.\" This system mirrored the multiple forces of mass society that surrounded it, as it became more bureaucratic, more focused on identifying and organizing students based on perceived abilities, and more anxious about teaching conformity to middle-class values. By highlighting the experiences of the students themselves and the formation of a distinct, school-centered youth culture, Kyle P. Steele argues that high school, as it evolved into a mass institution, was never fully the domain of policy elites, school boards and administrators, or students, but a complicated and ever-changing contested meeting place of all three.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Shortridge, then Manual, then Arsenal: Indianapolis Defines and Develops a High School System, 1890-1919\u003cbr\u003e  2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Forced Segregation and the Creation of Crispus Attucks High School, 1919-1929\u003cbr\u003e  3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The High School Moves to the Center of the American Adolescent Experience, 1929-1941\u003cbr\u003e  4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An End to \u003ci\u003eDe Jure\u003c\/i\u003e School Segregation, Crispus Attucks Basketball Success, and the Limits of Racial Equality, 1941-1955\u003cbr\u003e  5 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Life Adjustment\" Education, Suburbanization, Unigov, and an Unjust System by a New Name, 1955-1971\u003cbr\u003e  Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e  Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e  Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e  Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52638402478360,"sku":"9781978814400","price":87.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/making-a-mass-institution-indianapolis-and-the-american-high-school-hardback-9781978814400","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
