Summary: A superb history of American liberal arts colleges.
Comment: Distinctively America: The Residential Liberal Arts Colleges is a collection of critical and informative essays examining the American liberal arts college as an institution, from its role in the lives of students, to its value as a form of education. The contributors also explore the threats faced by liberal arts colleges, their transformative role (both positive and negative), as well as the impact of information technology. Highly recommended reading for students of the sociology of American education, the relationship of liberal arts colleges to the humanities, as well as American education history and the future of the liberal arts college as an educational institution, Distinctively America is a superb educational history of the American liberal arts colleges from their early disdained reputations in comparison to European schools, to their slow rise to becoming accepted as "world-class" universities.
