Iftikhar Ahmad Iftikhar Ahmad, a professor of education at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, is the author of "Citizenship Education: Political Scientists' Struggle for the Social Studies Curriculum." A description of his book follows: Citizenship education-the preparation of thoughtful and caring citizens-has taken center stage in many education debates. We want to ensure our educational system produces good citizens-but what knowledge is of most worth in pre-collegiate citizenship education? And how can we have a meaningful conversation about this issue without understanding the political agendas that have fed the process? Professor Ahmad addresses these questions by examining the research spanning decades of educational history. Whether you are an interested citizen, social studies educator or historian, curriculum policy maker, textbook writer, or student, you will benefit from this narrative of the ever-changing nature of citizenship education.
