Far & Wide: Cultural Diversity in American Boarding Schools

REVIEWS:

'At last! In one book, there are both very perceptive essays by international and ethnic-American students about their experiences at boarding schools and very practical pieces by private school faculty with a rich history of working with this population. As a glance at boarding school demographics will quickly show, the percent of international and ethnically diverse students on campus has grown rapidly over the past ten years. A must for boarding school faculty and administrators and parents'. Bill Cole, Vice President, Peterson's

'Parents, teachers, and placement counselors will benefit greatly from the personal insights of those who have experienced first hand the social and cultural challenges of entering the somewhat mystical world of US boarding schools.' Richard Barr, Placement Counselor, Saudi Arabia

'Far and Wide responds to an urgent need: how do we define membership in a boarding school community without homogenizing that experience? Far and Wide, because it includes both faculty and student commentary, will be a standard work for all readers intereseted in the ways in which we experience hybridity.' William W. Cook, Chairman, English Department, Dartmouth College
