This book addresses the challenge of education for citizenship at a
specific, concrete level. It offers examples of efforts to create
among our students a new set of what Tocqueville called mores or
culturally defining 'habits of the heart' which will enhance
citizenship, foster a sense of connectedness to a community
stretching beyond the university, and ultimately, support the
practices, basic values, and institutions necessary for the
democratic process.
