In Far and Wide: Diversity in the American Boarding School, students, faculty, and administrators respond candidly to dozens of questions that every school participant and observer wants to ask about the issues singular to the multicultural student on the secondary school campus. The book is divided into three major sections: entering school, settling in, and leaving school. Chapters are written both by students and the adults who teach and counsel them. This book addresses key questions faced by the multicultural student in an informative and provocative manner.
