Abstract: This essay draws on Marx’s scholarly contributions to historiography to examine the history of and approach to the history of education in the United States. The primary theoretical perspective is drawn from the materialist approach outlined in The German Ideology (Marx & Engels, 1846/1996). The Marxist historiography in the history of education developed here is then employed to analyze and critique narratives of the colonial and common school eras. This work disrupts Eurocentric tendencies in Marxist history of education by returning to the work of Marx himself.
