Lumps of Clay and Growing Plants: Dominant Metaphors of the Role of Education in the Third World, 1950-1980.
Overview & Synopsis
During the 1950s-60s, a "people as clay" metaphor undergirded the most widely accepted English-language, predominantly North American writings on education for Third World development. Writings based on "people as growing plants" challenged the earlier writings from the late 1960s-late 1970s. Late 1970s developments have helped to blunt this challenge. (BRR)
