"Interspersed with activities for use by teacher educators, this is an accessible and timely resource for all those preparing the next generation of practitioners working in the culturally complex environments that now characterise our world."
Professor Megan Watkins, School of Education, Western Sydney University, Australia
"This highly readable book tackles many complex topics and provides an excellent and scholarly introduction to the origins, development and key themes of contemporary multiculturalism and education."
Professor Stephen McKinney, School of Education, University of Glasgow, UK
Multiculturalism and Education is an accessible yet critical introduction to the concept of multiculturalism in education. It investigates how aspects of multicultural education can be applied to teaching and learning while highlighting why it remains crucial to analyse the notion of cultural diversity. Existing and ongoing conceptual debates continue to shape how we perceive multiculturalism, and in this text, Race responds to the latest debates while deftly tackling complex topics and policy issues.
This new edition of a classic text provides comprehensive coverage of key issues, policies and debates with up-to-date references and resources. Transformative pedagogy guides the reader through the text while creating space for reflection and independent thought.
This revised volume includes:
A brand-new chapter on Fundamental British Values and Prevent
Reflective exercises in every chapter
Extensive empirical research with fully up-to-date resources and references
Written accessibly yet critically, this book is a perfect resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Case studies, study questions and updated references alongside website resources make this essential reading.
