This book review symposium aims to open a space for discussions and questions responded to the book Education between Speech and Writing: Crossing the Boundaries of Dao and Deconstruction, which is published in 2018. The symposium is composed of four articles by four authors. They are "Introduction" by the author of the book; Morimichi Kato's "Writing, History, and Playfulness: A dialogical review of Ruyu Hung's Education Between Speech and Writing: Crossing the Boundaries of Dao and Deconstruction"; Xu Di's "Think Beyond Dichotomy: Discussant paper on Education Between Speech & Writing by Dr. Ruyu Hung"; and Chia-Ling Wang's "Buddhist unconsciousness: A language beyond phonocentrism and graphocentrism in postgraphocentric education". This symposium creates new possibilities of understanding and exploring Eastern Asian philosophy of education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alba and Foner’s volume is an important contribution to the transatlantic dialog. In the paper I especially focus on the presented labour market outcomes in the first generation and the accomplishments of the second generation in education. What do these outcomes tell us about integration and assimilation patterns across countries? Alba and Foner’s overall conclusion is that neither the theory of national integration models nor the theory of settler versus non-settler societies can explain the differences or similarities in outcomes across the six assessed countries. These theories, according to Alba and Foner, are debunked when empirically tested. I try to formulate what alternative explanations can be formulated based on the empirical data. Differences in historical institutional arrangements in education and the labour market can more accurately predict outcomes. Also differences in the dynamics between the mainstream population and immigrant groups in North America versus Western Europe are important. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
