Summary: Striking a Balance in the Culture Wars
Comment: An Aristocracy of Everyone is absolutely the best book I have read on the culture wars and its implications for education. Dr. Barber provides a reasoned and well researched critique of both the left and the right in his analysis. His main conclusion that ultimately what is lost in the debate over what is and should be taught in our schools is the fundamental lesson that an appreciation for democracy and civic engagement is the most critical outcome for our education system.

Barber, along with others such as Harry Boyte, Robert Putnam, and Robert Bellah are the key leaders in the movement to revitalize our American Democracy and the need for greater civic engagement.

This book provides the essential philosophical arguments for the civic movement that sustains the vision of Dr. King and the Civil Rights movement.
