About the book

In «The Goose-step: A Study of American Education,» Upton Sinclair offers a scathing critique of the American educational system in the early 20th century. Through a blend of narrative storytelling and incisive social commentary, Sinclair explores the mechanisms of indoctrination and conformity prevalent in the institutions of learning. His literary style is characterized by stark realism and a confrontational tone, echoing the muckraking tradition of exposing societal flaws. Sinclair dissects not only the curriculum but also the cultural and philosophical underpinnings that support a system designed to produce obedient citizens rather than critical thinkers, making significant contributions to the discourse on education reform. Upton Sinclair, an American author and social activist, was influenced by his own experiences with the educational system, as well as his broader critiques of capitalism and social inequality. Best known for his groundbreaking novel «The Jungle,» Sinclair's commitment to social justice is reflected in his work on education, as he sought to illuminate the institutional challenges that stifled creativity and individuality in young minds. His deep-rooted belief in progressivism and reform fueled his determination to advocate for educational change. For those interested in the intersection of education, sociology, and literature, Sinclair's «The Goose-step» is an essential read. It not only challenges conventional perspectives on educational practices but also serves as a rallying call for educators, parents, and policymakers to rethink their approaches. Sinclair's work remains relevant today, making it a profound resource for understanding the ongoing dialogue about the purpose and function of education in society.
