EpilogueReviews"“How schools teach about human diversity can either reproduce or challenge dominant cultural norms, a fact that fuels perennial culture wars over the history curriculum. Michael Olneck’s provocative new study is essential reading for anyone who wants to make sense of culture wars over teaching about race, gender, and social inequality in American public schools. This study highlights the inherent shortcomings of multicultural education, but also reveals how it could be revitalized to fulfill the civic mandate of public education in a multiracial democracy."" Zoë Burkholder, Professor of Educational Foundations, Montclair State University, author of ‘An African American Dilemma A History of School Integration and Civil Rights in the North’ (2021) “Schools make Americans, but Americans disagree about who they are. So schools are also sites of contestation between competing views of the nation itself. Anyone who wants to understand our contemporary battles over critical race theory and gender identity in the schools should read Michael Olneck's wise and prescient book.” Jonathan Zimmerman, Professor of History of Education and author of Whose America? Culture Wars in the Public Schools (2nd edition, 2022) “Michael Olneck has written a very important and insightful book that helps the educator and general reader understand the meaning of the “Culture Wars” and their corrosive impact on education. Olneck gives necessary historical perspective and contextualization to this war over signs. With great analytic power and forcefulness, he makes clear the critical issues at stake in this conflagrating war over symbolism and the struggle over the iconography of the past, present and future that existentially threatens the autonomy of the teacher in the classroom and the very future of the educational enterprise.” Cameron McCarthy, University Scholar, Communication Scholar, Former Director of Global Studies in Education at the University of Illinois-Urbana" Author InformationMichael R.
