Uses data drawn from a study of pluralistic Jewish high schools to illustrate the complex and often challenging interplay between the cognitive and socio-affective elements of education. Throughout the book, Kress grapples with questions such as how can the balance between community cohesion and group differences be achieved in diverse settings?; how can the formal and informal offerings of a school coalesce to address identity outcomes, and what are the challenges in doing so?
