- Abstract
The article explains how in the 1960s and 1970s liberal education reformers drew upon Peace Corps practices to develop new, consciously 'multicultural' teaching methods that attempted to revolutionize urban education. Topics discussed include reason returned U.S. volunteers were singled out for recruitment as urban teachers, influence of the Peace Corps on U.S. education, and first effort to convert Peace Corps returnees into urban teachers. It also mentions consequences of the equation of poverty with foreignness for domestic anti-poverty programs and ideology in the 1960s and 1970s.
