Whose America?

Whose America? by Jonathan Zimmerman tells the dramatic story of conflict, compromise, and more conflict over the teaching of history and morality in twentieth-century America. The book examines topics such as whose stories are told in history and how multiculturalism began long ago. Zimmerman explores the challenges of moral and religious education in today's society and how different sides argue their deeply held beliefs without finding middle ground. Despite the difficulties, the book argues that the American tradition of pluralism has softened the edges of the most rigorous moral and religious absolutism.
