About the Book

This pathbreaking book examines how globalization and large-scale immigration are affecting children and youth, both in and out of school. Taking into consideration broad historical, cultural, technological, and demographic changes, the contributors—all leading social scientists in their fields—suggest that these global transformations will require youth to develop new skills, sensibilities, and habits of mind far ahead of what most educational systems can now deliver.
