Produktbeschreibung

"Today, multicultural education is understood as both an idea and a process. Educators endorse the idea of multicultural education by examining language, race, culture, and power and fostering awareness of and respect for differences, which is necessary for the creation of a more just and equitable society. Moreover, they enact the process of multicultural education by teaching for social justice, honoring students' experiences, and committing to a stance of critical awareness and inquiry. In this volume, we present a body of knowledge that has influenced how educators think and teach. We hope these texts will now inspire innovation and a renewed commitment to what education ought to be in a multicultural world." --from the editors' introduction This stimulating book provides a thorough overview of multicultural education in the United States. In influential and often groundbreaking articles from the Harvard Educational Review, the volume surveys multicultural education's founding arguments and principles, describes its subsequent evolution, and looks toward its future role and impact. Comprised of articles by leading proponents of multicultural education, the book explores a complex and highly influential movement while offering direction and inspiration for the future. Contributors include Dorinda J. Carter Andrews, Steven Z. Athanases, Dolores Delgado Bernal, Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy, Noah De Lissovoy, Lisa D. Delpit, Signithia Fordham, Emma Maughan, Sonia Nieto, Django Paris, Patricia J. Saylor, Paul Skilton-Sylvester, Beverly Daniel Tatum, Kathleen Weiler, and Arlette Ingram Willis.
