This book critically considers how tertiary institutions of higher
education in the United States are charged with the duty of
preserving democracy, teaching citizenship literacy, and
contributing to economic stability. The author offers a comparative
analysis of how presidential and national policy agendas shape
these social institutions' re-creation and re-constitution of
ideological identities that influence the social position of the
participants in the institution types, creating a divide in the
realization of national identity across institutional and class
lines. In fulfilling this role, four- and two-year institutions
become representations of the social class divisions in the United
States as the institutions and their students experience American
national identity differently. By answering a call to serve the
American public and presidential agendas, institutions of higher
education reinforce the economic and social divisions in American
society, resulting in varied understandings of American national
identity.
