Indigenous enlightenment : printing and education in evangelical colonialism, 1790-1850 / Stuart D. McKee.
In "Indigenous Enlightenment," Stuart D. McKee examines the methodologies, tools, and processes that British and American educators developed to inculcate Indigenous cultures of reading and learning. Protestant expatriates who opened schools within British and U.S. colonial territories between the years 1750 and 1850 shared the conviction that a beneficent government should promote the enlightenment of its colonial subjects.
