edited by Diane Ravitch and Joseph P. Viteritti, 2001
This solid new collection, edited by Diane Ravitch and Joe Viteritti, has just come off the Yale University Press. Nothing could be more timely, considering the tough dilemmas U.S. educators are facing as they decide what to teach kids about civics and patriotism post-9/11 and as we confront the huge challenge of overseas schools that are busy imparting hatred, intolerance and anti-Americanism to their pupils. 350 pages long, its contributors include such clear thinkers and estimable writers as Bill Damon, Gerald Grant, Nat Glazer, Alan Wolfe and Jean Bethke Elshtain, as well as fine essays (and an incisive introduction) by Ravitch and Viterriti. The ISBN is 0300088787. Besides your usual sources for serious books, you can surf to http://www.yale.edu/yup/books/088787.htm.
