This volume investigates the complex relationship between formal educational systems and the preservation of distinct cultural identities within minority, diaspora, and indigenous populations. Editors Ezra Kopelowitz and Zvi Bekerman compile a series of academic inquiries that examine how schools function as both sites of assimilation and potential bastions for cultural sustainability. The text argues that the tension between state-mandated curricula and the desire for group continuity creates unique challenges for marginalized communities navigating globalization and economic reform.
