Reconstructing the history of student mobility from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century, Rachel Grace Newman unveils the social hierarchies, political languages, and institutional mechanisms that created Mexico's foreign-educated elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudy abroad began as a private phenomenon for young elites to acquire specific forms of knowledge and to preserve their status. But, as Newman shows, after the 1910 revolution, elites gradually convinced the Mexican state, under the guise of modernising the nation, to underwrite their ambitions with merit-based scholarships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudent mobility naturalised the expectation that Mexico's sovereignty and development required knowledge from somewhere else. For historians of Mexico and other countries with foreign-educated elites, this book reveals the subtle, insidious processes by which states reinforce privilege through education policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934310088940,"sku":"9780520430617","price":309.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520430617-the-future-in-their-hands.jpg?v=1783911364"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/rachel-grace-newman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
