Carnegie Corporation - Publications & Multimedia

In seeking to fulfill Andrew Carnegie’s mission to promote "the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding," the Corporation funds studies, research and writing, and similar projects that often result in print, film/video, audio, and electronic materials for public dissemination. More than 1,000 books, reports, textbooks, and curricula have been published with Corporation grants in the past fifteen years. Although a high proportion are intended for academic and professional readers and other specialists, quite a few have reached a broad audience, and the ideas have taken root in policy and practice. Electronic publishing has become an increasingly important arena for dissemination, and many of the Corporation’s grantees now have Web sites, which are listed in the grant descriptions.

Among recent publications that explored issues central to the Corporation’s programs are Educating Language-Minority Children, edited by Diane August and Kenji Hakuta, Safe Passage: Making It through Adolescence in a Risky Society, by Joy G. Dryfoos, The Price of Peace: Incentives and International Conflict Prevention, edited by David Cortright, The State and Democracy in Africa, edited by Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja and Margaret C. Lee, and The Decline of Representative Democracy: Process, Participation, and Power in State Legislatures, by Alan Rosenthal. The Corporation’s support of high-quality audiovisual materials, particularly those for children, is exemplified by the public television program for teenagers, In the Mix (Castle Works), and the educational radio program, Kinetic City Super Crew (American Association for the Advancement of Science). The Center for National Independence in Politics, recognizing that the growing body of knowledge on the Web can be useful only to those who know where to find it, has published Vote Smart Web Yellow Pages, 1998–99, a resource designed to assist voters navigating the Web in search of information about ballot issues and candidates.

The following selections of publications and non-print materials resulting from grants were received by the Corporation in 1997–98. The list does not include papers published in journals, newspapers, magazines, or books. The materials are listed by program area.
