LEARNING TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL - HYANG JIN JUNG K...

Learning to Be an Individual delves into how the ideology of individualism shapes American
personhood by examining socialization during early adolescence. As an anthropological study  it
painstakingly analyzes the workings of American cultural conceptions of self  person  and
emotion in the minute details of everyday school life. In so doing  it draws attention to a
crucial  yet often overlooked  aspect of schooling: affective education. It also points out how
emotion is deeply involved in morality politics in American education and society. This is a
book that needs to be read by anyone interested in the role of individualism in public
education.
