New Directions for Social Theory, Practice, and Policy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Multicultural Curriculum is a collection of original essays brought together to develop new theories and meaningful praxis to build a new paradigm for teaching multiculturalism in today's classroom. The impressive list of contributors shows how the current epistemological and pedagogical practices that are designed to forward multiculturalism actually serves to essentialize cultures--the antithesis of what multicultural education is designed to accomplish. The editors offer alternative theories, classroom teaching methods, and policies that are designed to promote true cultural understanding and equality.
