Who wants a color-coordinated, cross-cultural core curriculum?
USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), March, 1993 by William J. Reeves
There are many other examples of how the principle of horizontal integration can produce a color-coordinated, cross-cultural core. William Faulkner's novels about the mythical Yoknapatawpha County of the deep South can be paired with R.K. Narayan's novels about the fictional country Malgudi, which illuminate life in South India. Hemingway's depictions of fives tom asunder by World War I can be compared with the keen observations of Hanan al-Shaykh in her novel The Story of Zahra, which focuses on the civil war in Lebanon.

Arnold had it right when he said that the aim of education is to inform students of the "best that has been known and thought." Using the principle of horizontal integration, professors can eschew the rancor over what constitutes the "best" by including in a core curriculum the contributions of men and women of color and by examining classic themes and artistic techniques as they have appeared in non-Western cultures.
