Rezensionen

"A debut book elaborates on the fundamental ideas at play in the growing field of multicultural education, specifically at the college/university level. In this work, Spiteri (Social Policy and Social Work/Univ. of York) surveys the studies that lay out the theoretical groundwork for this cross-disciplinary endeavour. ... vital for educators and particularly valuable for those entering the profession."
