Reviews

"Hutner and Mohamed offer ten essays about changing views of a liberal arts philosophy in public institutions of higher education … The essays are all by respected and experienced scholars, among them Jeffrey Williams (Carnegie Mellon), Yolanda Moses (Univ. of California, Riverside), and Christopher Newfield (Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) ... Summing up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals."
*CHOICE*

“This book is an important companion and corrective to recent work. The cases made in these valuable essays are varied, subtle, and provocative, and affirm that nothing could be more important than to invest our public dollars in the humanities crucible of effective citizenry and global awareness.”
*Council of Independent Colleges*
