      abstract = {This book critically considers how tertiary institutions  of higher education in the United States are charged with  the duty of preserving democracy, teaching citizenship  literacy, and contributing to economic stability. The  author offers a comparative analysis of how presidential  and national policy agendas shape these social institutions  re-creation and re-constitution of ideological identities  that influence the social position of the participants in  the institution types, creating a divide in the realization  of national identity across institutional and class lines.  In fulfilling this role, four- and two-year institutions  become representations of the social class divisions in the  United States as the institutions and their students  experience American national identity differently. By  answering a call to serve the American public and  presidential agendas, institutions of higher education  reinforce the economic and social divisions in American  society, resulting in varied understandings of American  national identity.},
