Classroom in Conflict: Teaching Controversial Subjects in a Diverse Society

by John A. Williams and John A. Williams

Book Overview

This book transcends recent debates about political correctness to address the underlying problems of teaching controversial subjects in the college and university history classroom. The author criticizes both sides of the debate, rejecting, on the one hand, calls for a uniform, chronological history curriculum and, on the other hand, claims that only ethnic or racial "insiders" are qualified to teach about their communities.
