Description
Summary:"The Intercultural Campus reveals the underlying sources of racial fragmentation on college and university campuses and outlines a new framework for diversity. Citing results from an innovative four-year project that completely transformed the culture of a university, Greg Tanaka describes specific programs that all campuses should implement when admitting diverse classes.
Signaling a larger shift for progressives away from binary, essentialized categories of identity to individual agency, or "subjectivity," this book advances a social change philosophy based in interdependence and highlights skills that future U.S. leaders will need to interact successfully with others in our diverse global society."--Jacket.
