The Good CitizenDavid Batstone, Eduardo Mendieta Psychology Press, 2001 - 167 páginas In The Good Citizen, nine well-known scholars discuss the idea - and ideal - of citizenship. The writers are female and male, white, black, Asian, and Latina/o. In an engaging discussion of history, prejudice, and cultural conflict, these thinkers make the case that a renewed America requires not only cooperation, but a pluralistic collaboration. The Good Citizen aims to encourage a national dialogue on the difficult question we all face: What exactly does it mean to be an American? |
