About the Book

Coming of Age in a Globalized World

Coming of Age in a Globalized World: The Next Generation, published in February 2006, by Kumarian Press, Bloomfield, Ct., explores the impact of globalization and the case for world citizenship.

In this work, Dr. J. Michael Adams, the president of Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Angelo Carfagna, the communications director at Fairleigh Dickinson University, stress the importance of global education as they seek to reconcile the contrast between national bonds and global interests. The book provides a comprehensive landscape of current issues and conflicts in global politics as it encourages and challenges the next generation to shape viable answers to impending global issues.

While the text is primarily designed for college students who may not be familiar with the many facets of globalization, global education and world citizenship, anyone interested in understanding the changes taking place in our world and concerned for the future will find something of interest. Featured on the cover are photographs of young people from around the world, taken by renowned photographer Steve McCurry.

Coming of Age in a Globalized World: The Next Generation offers each reader the promise of a perspective conducive to global change: an opportunity that humanity must embrace to overcome the 21st century’s greatest challenges.
