Globalization: Culture and Education in the New Millennium Book

This path-breaking book examines how globalization and large-scale immigration are affecting children and youth, both in and out of school. Taking into consideration broad historical, cultural, technological, and demographic changes, the contributors-all leading social scientists in their fields-suggest that these global transformations will require youth to develop new skills, sensibilities, and habits of mind far ahead of what most educational systems can now deliver.
