Transforming America

Creatively and rigorously blending historical research and contemporary data from various disciplines, DeVillar and Jiang cogently and comprehensively illustrate the problems and opportunities our nation faces in education, economics, and the global arena. They propose a framework of transformation that would move us from a culture of conflict to a culture of purpose to achieve metacultural cohesion. This is imperative if we are to ensure that our nation and its individual members thrive domestically-and if we are to enhance our nation's global competitiveness and contributions, geopolitically and otherwise, throughout this century and beyond. Transforming America is a welcomed foundational text for teachers and students in education and the social sciences at undergraduate and graduate levels alike.
