Resumen

Los historiadores vinculan el origen de los Estudios Sociales con la publicación del Informe del Comité de Estudios Sociales (CSS) de la Asociación Nacional de Educación (NEA), que Ravitch denomina «certificado de nacimiento del campo de los estudios sociales» (1987, 348). Desde su publicación en 1916, los orígenes de los Estudios Sociales han sido muy discutidos, pero en la historiografía del Área apenas se ha profundizado en lo acontecido previamente al Informe. Nuestro trabajo analiza esos momentos iniciales y su traslado al currículo nacional, en el contexto de los cambios acontecidos en ese país en el tránsito de los siglos XIX al XX. Presta especial atención a la cuestión racial, la integración y educación de los antiguos esclavos, subrayando el papel de Thomas Jesse Jones, un sociólogo que había trabajado con estudiantes afroamericanos y nativos americanos en el Instituto Hampton de Virginia y que, al presidir el Comité de Estudios Sociales, influyó decisivamente para incluir en el Informe los postulados desarrollados en el Instituto Hampton.
