Globalization: Culture and Education in the New Millennium
Edited by Marcelo M. Suárez-Orozco and Desirée Baolian Qin-Hilliard
This pathbreaking book examines how globalization and large-scale immigration are affecting children and youth, both in and out of schools. 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 that are far ahead of what most educational systems can now deliver.
