Additional Reading > Education in primitive and early civilized cultures

There are few monographs dealing solely with education in primitive civilizations; information is to be found chiefly in works treating larger subjects, such as Margaret Mead, Continuities in Cultural Evolution (1964); George Dearborn Spindler (ed.), Education and Cultural Process: Anthropological Approaches, 2nd ed. (1987); Thomas Woody, Life and Education in Early Societies (1949, reprinted 1970); Christopher J. Lucas, Our Western Educational Heritage (1971); Henri Maspero, China in Antiquity (1978; originally published in French, 1927); J. Eric S. Thompson, The Rise and Fall of Maya Civilization, 2nd enlarged ed. (1966, reprinted 1977); Rudolph Van Zantwijk, The Aztec Arrangement: The Social History of Pre-Spanish Mexico (1985; originally published in Dutch, 1977); and George A. Collier, Renato I. Rosaldo, and John D. Wirth (eds.), The Inca and Aztec States, 1400–1800 (1982).
