Title: EuroCentric Cultural Literacy
Review: Hirsch is a European American who's book Cultural Literacy,is a comprehensive discussion about what European American Cultural Literacy should consist of. Americans in general should be aware of this work and how the elements that Hirsch presents relate to their Cultural Health.As an African America, I conclude that Hirsch's Cultural Literacy is a good Eurocentic work, but it is too narrow to be considered "American" Cultural Literacy. As Americans we should have much in commont, as is pointed out. But we must also have some degree of Cultural Literacy regarding the other ethnic groups we live, work, and play with; if America is to move from "racial' tolorance to ethnic harmony. Our Effectiveness as a nation, in the new Globle Village, depends on the broadest possable interethnic literacy which, should be America's great advantage.
