"Ambassadors for Peace represents an important contribution at a time when cross-cultural understanding and exchange is imperative. The exchange fellows from Pakistan and the United States who share their experiences and impressions help to fulfill the vision of Senator Fulbright to build peace by investing in international exchange and understanding among students and scholars." Prof. William W. Monning, J.D., Monterey Institute of International Studies; Senior Fulbright Scholar; President, Global Majority "It is a pleasure to see how exchange scholars in their unique role as true ambassadors of peace can impact a world fraught with conflict, violence and dubious diplomacy. Like the flight of doves, the book shows gentle stirrings of life, hope and friendship."
Nibir K Ghosh, Author of Multicultural America & Chief Editor, Re-Markings "More than a glimpse into the lives of these shining scholars, it is a wonderful testament to their strive for mutual understanding and harmony. Simply a compelling read"

Similarity in Diversity documents experiential learning of exchange scholars from Malaysia and the USA. This anthology of personal essays presents the full range of crosscultural experiences-experiences which enhance mutual understanding and create a sense of affinity among the exchange scholars. The personal essays in this collection are interesting, shocking, and unforgettable. Anyone who is interested in studying in the United States or going to Malaysia should read this book. This volume provides a rare perspective-observing a country from students' point of view. As students learn, share and make the connections, we create a better world for us and for future generations. While these essays do not necessarily present a representative picture either of Malaysia or the USA, the sketches do describe exchange experiences of interest to anyone who is concerned with people, cultures and diversity.

By Larthenia Howard
All students have an inalienable right to an equitable, enriching, and empowering education. Yet, today's teachers face the challenge of reaching a diverse population of students and striving for a balance between cultural differences and achievement. In Challenging Mediocrity, author and educator Larthenia Howard explores possible causes for the achievement gaps between subgroups as outlined by the federal No Child Left Behind Act's AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) guidelines. Teachers are encouraged to reflect not only on practices that directly affect a student's success, but also on different instructional tactics that can reach every student. Howard invites educational leaders to take action and covers such pertinent subjects as the following: - Self-discovery exercises to identify biases and instructional practices
- Strategies to manage the dynamics of diversity in the classroom
- Culture and evaluation criteria for the school environment
- Introduction of multicultural content into the existing curriculum
- Strategies for coping with student achievement gaps
- Utilizing the SURE Formula as a diversity inclusion model
Educational reform must employ a state of urgency in order to effectively and efficiently address the inequalities and disparities within current educational practices. Challenging Mediocrity will encourage teachers to view this challenge as an opportunity to enrich the experiences of students, ultimately improving student achievement.

By Dr. A. Aguirre Watts
In seeking to understand the complex and diverse nature of the lived experience of a group of African American parents in public schools as students and later as parents of students in public schools, Authentic Voices of Other Children's Parents reveals what was true for this group as they defined for themselves their experiences in, perceptions of, and understandings about public schools. Guided by questions to help focus the discussion, the parents engage in reflexive and intimate discourse regarding their experiences with public schools and the impact their experiences have had on their lives and the lives of their children. Their stories and conversations support the relevance of understanding culture as an issue facing African American students and the impact it has on academic performance. Their experiences also support the necessity of seeking to find equitable and meaningful solutions to the problems in education, especially for African Americans.

By Milton Schwebel
A pioneer in public education, the U.S. has followed a model of separatism, largely determined by class and race, and supported by a supposedly scientific theory of intelligence. Some children receive a “first-class”, although often a stultifying education. The majority are consigned to programs of mediocrity. Dr. Schwebel proposes change: the societal, psychological, educational, and many of the biological factors that determine educability are almost entirely controllable by society.

A Magnificent Exchange is an extraordinary story of one American family's remarkable adventure in The Land of the Rising Sun. It's a colorful account of how a mother and her six year old son transitioned, adapted and eventually triumphed in a foreign country. This mother didn't wait for her ship to come in; she swam out to meet it! So when the opportunity presented itself for her to take her young son and travel to Japan to teach English as a Foreign Language, she let go, said goodbye to all that was comfortable; to all that was familiar, and followed her dream. A Magnificent Exchange is a testimony to the human spirit and an unforgettable story of an American family's successful assimilation into Japanese society. It's a story of promise and one of hope. It proves that harmony can come from chaos, and courage can come from fear.
