Description

This anthology examines the role and current conditions of citizenship in American society. The editors have compiled essays by eminent social scientists and educators that explore the concept of citizenship from various disciplinary perspectives: educational, political, historical, economic, geographic, cultural, social-psychological, anthropological, and international. By considering citizenship within these conceptual frameworks, the nature and potential of citizenship education as an instructional subject can be better understood. This comprehensive volume will be a valuable text for graduate students in social studies, civic education, and curriculum development. It will also be of use to teachers and civil groups interested in developing civic education experiences that engender ideals integral to the survival of a democratic system.
