Common Schools/Uncommon Identities: National Unity and Cultural Difference

Link: http://www.yale.edu/yup/ ($28.50).

This book examines issues of national and cultural identity in a multicultural society. It focuses on the educational aims of societies that are committed to liberal democratic principles, societies that support members of different cultural groups so that these groups may flourish. It examines the philosophical concerns raised by multicultural education, and the fears engendered by a commitment on the part of the public schools to maintaining subcultural identity.
