Geoffrey Galt Harpham, Books, Reference and Language, What Do You Think, Mr. Ramirez?: The American Revolution In Education, Some fifty years ago, a Cuban teenager landed penniless and without papers on the Florida shore. Soon he had earned his GED and found his way to a community college, a literature class, and an encounter with a Shakespeare sonnet. An instructor asked him, “Mr. Ramirez, what do you think?” It was a question that changed his life. By the time Geoffrey Harpham met him, Mr. Ramirez had become a distinguished professor at an American university. “What do YOU think?” This question and the fact that it was asked in a community college humanities classroom tell us much about the postwar ideals that made American higher education so revolutionary. What were Americans thinking when we created the educational system that could work such wonders? What conditions made it possible? And why is it today so embattled? Reaching back to the era of the Founders, Harpham traces the deep historical roots of our interest in the citizen’s opinion, and the corresponding prominence of textual interpretation in American education. He explores America’s path toward general, liberal education, focusing on its Golden Age immediately following WWII. And he puzzles out why the country turned to English teachers as the people best positioned to train students to thrive as interpreters, which is to say as citizens of a democracy. Harpham shows that the American system of general, liberal education formalized in the middle of the twentieth century can still inspire us in the early twenty-first. Public education in the US is everywhere under assault, and so too is the ideal of education that cultivates individuals and citizens rather than merely trains employees. Harpham recovers the core elements of liberal education in order that we might give them new form in the contemporary world. “What Do YOU Think?” teaches us that the American revolution in education, like the pursuit of happiness, is not yet finished.

Geoffrey Galt Harpham, Books, Reference and Language, What Do You Think, Mr. Ramirez?: The American Revolution In Education, Geoffrey Galt Harpham’s book takes its title from a telling anecdote. A few years ago Harpham met a Cuban immigrant on a college campus, who told of arriving, penniless and undocumented, in the 1960s and eventually earning a GED and making his way to a community college. In a literature course one day, the professor asked him, “Mr. Ramirez, what do you think?” The question, said Ramirez, changed his life because “it was the first time anyone had asked me that.” Realizing that his opinion had value set him on a course that led to his becoming a distinguished professor. That, says Harpham, was the midcentury promise of American education, the deep current of commitment and aspiration that undergirded the educational system that was built in the postwar years, and is under extended assault today. The United States was founded, he argues, on the idea that interpreting its foundational documents was the highest calling of opinion, and for a brief moment at midcentury, the country turned to English teachers as the people best positioned to train students to thrive as interpreters—which is to say as citizens of a democracy. Tracing the roots of that belief in the humanities through American history, Harpham builds a strong case that, even in very different contemporary circumstances, the emphasis on social and cultural knowledge that animated the midcentury university is a resource that we can, and should, draw on today. .
