According to Central Library's website, "America is facing a crisis of citizenship. Not even 25% of students are proficient in the subjects meant to prepare them to be responsible citizens. In this environment, what kind of history books might encourage us to become better citizens? Historian Michael Kazin, of Georgetown University and Dissent magazine, answers that question in the just-published volume Teaching America: The Case for Civic Education. He'll present his arguments and debate with the eminent Columbia University historians Ken Jackson and Andrew Delbanco."
