Migration Past, Migration Future
Recognizing that the US is an immigrant country and Germany is not, historians and demographers from each describe how the two countries have come to have the largest number of immigrants among advanced industrial countries; how their conception of citizenship and nationality differ; and how their ethnic compositions are likely to change in the next century as a consequence of migration, fertility trends, citizenship and naturalization laws, and public attitudes. The entire series focuses on Germany and the US. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The American Kaleidoscope
Winner of the John Hope Franklin Prize (1991) Winner of the Theodore Saloutos Award from the Immigration History Society (1993) Do recent changes in American law and politics mean that our national motto — e pluribus unum — is at last becoming a reality? Lawrence H. Fuchs searches for answers to this question by examining the historical patterns of American ethnicity and the ways in which a national political culture has evolved to accommodate ethnic diversity. Fuchs looks first at white European immigrants, showing how most of them and especially their children became part of a unifying political culture. He also describes the ways in which systems of coercive pluralism kept persons of ...
Sex Equity and Sexuality in Education
Gelijke behandeling en seksuele vorming in het onderwijs staan centraal in deze bundeling essays. Nieuw zijn deze thema's niet voor leerkrachten, maar wel is er nog maar weinig aandacht gegaan naar de combinatie van deze twee onderwerpen. De samenstellers zijn ervan overtuigd dat een goede seksuele vorming op school sekse-gelijkheid in de hand kan werken. De eerste hoofdstukken zijn bedoeld als introductie op het thema. De evolutie van ideeën over seksuele vorming, seksualiteit en gelijke behandeling is het onderwijs worden in hun historische context geschetst. Daarop voortbouwend worden een aantal doelstellingen geformuleerd waaraan seksuele vorming in het onderwijs zou kunnen voldoen. Verder is er ook aandacht voor volgende onderwerpen: seksuele intimidatie, homoseksualiteit en seksualiteit en gehandicapten.
Taking Stock
What is American government like today? How has it changed--and how has it remained the same--over the course of the century now coming to a close? Taking Stock seeks to provide the fullest and most thoughtful answers yet offered to these questions.

The Once and Future School
Jurgen Herbst traces the debates, discussions, pronouncements and reports through which Americans have sought to clarify their conceptions of the goals and purposes of education beyond the common school. The Once and Future School argues that to make sense of the current trials of secondary educational system and to maintain any sense of direction and vision for its future, we need a clear understanding of its path in the past and of its setting in a multi-national world. From their beginnings in colonial America to the present day, Jurgen Herbst traces the debates, discussions, pronouncements and reports through which Americans have sought to hammer out and clarify their conceptions of the goals and purposes of education beyond the common school.

Far East, Down South
Offers a collection of ten insightful essays that illuminate the little-known history and increasing presence of Asian immigrants in the American southeast In sharp contrast to the “melting pot” reputation of the United States, the American South—with its history of slavery, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement—has been perceived in stark and simplistic demographic terms. In Far East, Down South, editors Raymond A. Mohl, John E. Van Sant, and Chizuru Saeki provide a collection of essential essays that restores and explores an overlooked part of the South’s story—that of Asian immigration to the region. These essays form a comprehensive overview of key episodes and issues in th...
Patriotic Pluralism
In this book, leading historian of education Jeffrey E. Mirel retells a story we think we know, in which public schools forced a draconian Americanization on the great waves of immigration of a century ago. Ranging from the 1890s through the World War II years, Mirel argues that Americanization was a far more nuanced and negotiated process from the start, much shaped by immigrants themselves.Drawing from detailed descriptions of Americanization programs for both schoolchildren and adults in three cities (Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit) and from extensive analysis of foreign-language newspapers, Mirel shows how immigrants confronted different kinds of Americanization. When native-born citize...
