CITIZENSHIP & DIVERSITY

WHILE STOCKS LAST - reduced price!
Many Voices Many Opportunities
Clement Alexander Price
This book traces the idea of cultural pluralism in the US back to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to thinkers such as W.E.B. Dubois. Focusing on arts policy as one of the primay battlegrounds of the multiculturalism controversy, Price argues for a pluralistic approach to culture and for a definition of national culture that is dynamic rather than rigid.

ISBN: 0892363932 1996, Getty Foundation Institute for the Arts, USA, 112 pages, 15 b&w/ illustrations

Culture, Creativity, and Citizenship in Scotland Cristina Losito, Centre for Creative Communities The happy synergy between culture, creativity and citizenship, and the role of the school as a creative centre of the community are beginning to be recognised and acted upon in many areas of Scotland. Recent intiatives such as the Cultural Co-ordinators programme and the Scottish Arts Council-funded Creative Links project, are clear signs of a renewed interest in the values of arts and culture in education. This publication springs from the Scotlinks Project, a three year intiative funded by the Scottish Arts Council, with the aim to determine what effect additional arts input would have on the lives and learning of a cluster of schools and its surrounding community. Other examples of good practice are also described along with some challenges for the future. ISBN: 1851191240 2002, Scottish Arts Council, UK, 20 pages

Democracy is a Discussion: Civic Engagement in Old and New Democracies and Democracy is a Sondra Myers (ed.) These two handbooks are the products of Connecticut College's project "Democracy is a Discussion: Civic Engagement in Old and New Democracies." The first handbook aims to capture the basic essence and fundamental value of democracy. It acts as a tool for all those who seek to create and recreate democracy by organising and conducting civil discussions in informal groups, voluntary associations and academic institutions in every part of the world. The second handbok addreses some of the major complexities and obstacles to democracy, and offers some approaches and strategies for dealing with them. The first part of the book focuses on the challenges, such as religious and ethnic conflicts, and political and economic structures; the second part focuses on "promise" and positive new approaches, for example in education, while also addressing the moral question. Available as two-book set. 1996 & 1998, Connecticut College,USA
