Beyond the Culture Wars: How Teaching the Conflicts Can Revitalize American Education - Paperback

by Gerald Graff (Author)

Higher education should by a battleground of ideas: the real problem, Gerald Graff says, is that students are not getting more out of the battle. In this lively book, Graff argues that the "culture wars" now being fought over multiculturalism and political correctness are actually a sign of the intellectual vitality of American education--but they need to be used creatively, made part of the educational process itself.
