Cultural differences are not asserted through the specificity of dominant notions of race, gender, and class, but through a commitment to expanding dialogue and exchange across cultural lines as part of a wider attempt to deepen and develop democratic public life. This revised edition of the 1985 best-seller speaks eloquently to the need to attend to ever-present inequalities of education in the light of new political correctness, technology, and curricula.

The first edition of Education Under Siege, called a major achievement that deserves serious, sustained attention by College English, is now substantially revised and updated to include educational developments such as multiculturalism, political correctness, America 2000, AIDS in the schools, microsocieties, and unified universal learning through technology.
