This book delves into a critical examination of the role of tertiary institutions of higher education in the United States. It explores the profound responsibility these institutions hold in preserving democracy, fostering citizenship literacy, and contributing to economic stability. The author conducts a comparative analysis to understand how presidential and national policy agendas shape these social institutions, leading to the recreation and re-constitution of ideological identities that influence the social position of participants within these institutions. This divide, in turn, creates a schism in the realization of national identity across institutional and class lines.
As these institutions fulfill their duty, four- and two-year institutions become poignant representations of the social class divisions prevalent in the United States. The experiences of institutions and their students shape their understanding of American national identity, resulting in diverse interpretations. By answering a call to serve the American public and presidential agendas, these institutions inadvertently reinforce the economic and social divisions in American society, leading to varied perceptions of American national identity.
This thought-provoking book sheds light on the complex interplay between higher education, policy, and societal divisions, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of these factors in shaping the national identity of the United States.
