Citizenship under Fire
examines the relationship among civic education, the culture of war,
and the quest for peace. Drawing on examples from Israel and the United
States, Sigal Ben-Porath seeks to understand how ideas about
citizenship change when a country is at war, and what educators can do
to prevent some of the most harmful of these changes.
