Product Description
Delgado-Gaitan and Trueba examine the way that the first generation of Hispano children were reared by immigrant parents in one community. The children's transition from novices in the US system, to more experienced participants requires drastic cultural and social change. Often the transition represents a change from a rural home environment to an advanced technological society, where the acquisition of new cultural knowledge, new language and new values, varies largely according to the families' socio-economic, political, and educational opportunities. To make this adjustment, families, (especially children), must have high motivation and clear rewards. However, the children of such communities are able to draw upon their own rich cultural and linguistic values (ethnic loyalty, collective spirit, respect for elders, commitment to hard work, interaction strategies and the organization of discourse) to empower themselves in the struggle to acquire democratic values, freedom, education and economic opportunities. ...

Product Description
"This book offers persuasive and in many ways unprecedented history of the policy debates that gave California one of the most comprehensive and influential public university systems in the world. . . . Douglass's important work offers a basis for considering both the remarkable strengths of Progressive university building and the antidemocratic elements that, contrary to conventional wisdom, may be the source of its increasing weakness today."
--American Literature

"John Douglass has succeeded in one of the most difficult of scholarly challenges--presenting a large and complex topic with remarkable clarity, insight, and narrative skill. The California Idea and American Higher Education is fascinating history and a significant contribution to our understanding of the people and the forces that created California's renowned system of higher education."
--Richard C. Atkinson, President of the University of California

"Douglass has made a long-needed contribution. Those who study and work in higher education will profit from readitng this carefully constructed history."
--Journal of the West

Throughout the twentieth century, public universities were established across the United States at a dizzying pace, transforming the scope and purpose of American higher education.Leading the way was California, with its internationally renownednetwork of public colleges and universities.This book is the first comprehensive history of California's pioneering efforts to create an expansive and high-quality system of public higher education.The author traces the social, political, and economic forces that established and funded an innovative, uniquely tiered, and geographically dispersed network of public campuses in California.This influential model for higher education, "The California Idea," created an organizational structure that combined the promise of broad access to public higher education with a desire to develop institutions of high academic quality.Following the story from early statehood through to the politics and economic forces that eventually resulted in the 1960 California Master Plan for Higher Education, The California Idea and American Higher Education offers a carefully crafted history of public higher education. ...

a must have
For those interested in the state's history of public education, this book will explain the politics, and give you what you need to know without rummaging through a myriad of state publications. Douglass does an excellent job at both informing and entertaining the reader. By far, one of my favorite books.

A MUCH NEDED LOOK AT HOW CALIFORNIA DID IT
The California Idea fills a big need in the scholarship on higher education: a broad and comparative analysis on how an important state has approached the issues of broadening higher education access. This book is well written, good for both scholars, policymakers, and those generally interested in a public higher education system that has benefited so many Californians. ... Read more
