"Miss Rollins in Love takes education as its central focus and privileges a student-centered, culturally pluralistic progressive pedagogy theorized by John Dewey in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and practiced by Italian-American Harlem educators and writers. Two plot threads are interwoven: one documenting the challenges confronting an Italian-American student, Donato Contini; the other documents the challenges of the idealistic, Deweyan educator, Amy Rollins. The two plot threads join together in a romantic relationship between Donato and Amy that has symbolic implications for the relationship between teachers and students"--Back cover.
