Empirical in orientation, these essays focus on constructive proposals and on the role of social and political consensus. Furthermore, they contrast what we believe we know with what empirical data and institutional experience can teach us."--Jacket Analysis American Cultures Program Atkinson, Richard Berkeley Pledge Brown, Jerry Challenge Program Civil Rights Act (1866) Clinton administration Dilemmas of difference Disidentification Douglass, Frederick Dukemejian, George Dweck, Carol Educational Testing Service (ETS) Fetter, Jean Fordham, Signithia Freud, Sigmund Gordon, Edmund W., Hammond, Ray Head Start Heyman, Michael Hitch, Charles Immigration and Nationality Act (1965) Integration shock Johnson, Andrew Kennedy, Randall Kerner Commission Lepper, M.
