America has always been perceived as the great melting pot. But today, with increased immigration, changing demographic patterns, and heightened awareness of diversity, Americans truly live in a global society. For parents and teachers who want to encourage tolerance, respect, and self-esteem, and discourage hatred and violence, Jan Arnow's Teaching Peace is an essential guide, a hands-on, down-to-earth approach that explains how to combat prejudice and prevent conflict while teaching children the kind of values that will help them live fruitful lives in today's changing world.
