Social change and cultural division in America have accelerated in this century and further intensified with the Covid-19 pandemic, the George Floyd incident, and the two recent presidential elections. Seemingly settled issues—social change to bring equal opportunity for minority populations and the basic importance of equal protection under the law—have been upended or reversed. Americans are under extreme pressure, grappling with upheavals over race, education, economic structure, crime, immigration, and foreign policy. For context, it is instructive to review the years of radical social activity from the 1960s on and chronicle the positive achievements. Today’s discourse has fractured and polarized us. There is no longer a consensus on how to disagree in public. America Challenged: The New Politics of Race, Education, and Culture provides needed analysis and commentary and presents viewpoints largely unreported in the mainstream press. This book is of crucial importance to all who care about America reaching its fullest potential and for people who want to play a meaningful role in the continued development of our country.

Rosalie Pedalino Porter, EdD, advises state and federal governments in the U.S. and other immigrant receiving countries on education policy. She is a published author and an advocate for educational opportunities for immigrant children.
