Recenzje

Nelsen's The Color of Civics is a bold and incredibly important book that examines the role of our education system in shaping civic life and the broader functioning of our democratic system of governance. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how schools affect the kinds of citizens societies create. In addition, it is a model of how to conduct rigorous and meaningful social science that enriches our understanding of the complex social forces that affect the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of diverse groups of people whose life experiences shape the ways that they approach engaging with one another to create the societies they live in.
