This volume of essays, commissioned by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, examines that role in the half-century after World War II, when exceptional prosperity and population growth, coupled with Americas expanded political interaction with the world abroad, presented American higher education with unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The humanities proved to be the site for important efforts to incorporate groups and doctrines that had once been excluded from the American cultural conversation. The contributors explore the interaction between the humanities and demographic and cultural changes, including the link between these changes and the rise of new academic Specializations in area and other interdisciplinary studies. Analyzing the evolution of humanities disciplines and institutions and examining the conditions and intellectual climate in which they operate, this timely collection sheds new light on the role and value of the humanities in society. / CONTENTS Introduction David a.
