This volume examines the role of higher education in producing and
reproducing American cultural identity from 1862 to 2015 and
considers whether changes in federal policy regarding higher
education result in paradigm shifts that directly impact the
purpose of higher education. American institutions of higher
education have served as a beacon of American idealism and identity
since the foundation of the earliest universities. As the nation
developed, higher education matured and maintained a position of
importance in the future of the nation. While the university has
perpetuated American national cultural identity, the nation-state
has resourced and legitimated the university, inextricably linking
national identity and higher education. In this historical
analysis, the relationship between national identity, federal
legislation, and higher education is established, and an identity
of superiority, defined in economic terms, reinforced by higher
education, is revealed.
