About this title: Levine presents a two-pronged attack on conservative critics who blame the contemporary university and its educators for a pernicious decline in American culture. First he demonstrates that "radical" changes to the canonical curriculum have a longer and more distinguished history than most conservatives are willing to admit. Second, Levine argues that the "opening up" of American culture and of the essential elements of American education are inextricably linked, and that new ideas in the university are the only responsible responses to a changing society.

"I had forgotten how good this book is in providing an overview of the so-called culture wars in the university. Levine is great in contextualizing the attacks on change and, especially, multiculturalism in education. This is most pertinent to my own situation right now."
