Constructing Multicultural Education in a Diverse Society

By Ilghiz M. Sinagatullin

Constructing Multicultural Education in a Diverse Society is a book whose time has come. Professor Sinagatullin, a professor of pedagogy, believes that a well-built multicultural classroom is key to reducing racial, ethnic, religious class, and gender prejudices. Incorporating the notions of multiculturalism and globalism into one entity called 'multicultural education, ' and focusing on a wide range of educational practices, leads Prof. Sinagatullin's study to look at the various ethnic groups of Russia. The importance of building bridges between American and Russian educational systems cannot be understated. Aside from the sheer size of both counties, Russia, despite the difficulties of current times, has had a long history of public education across 130 ethnic groups. This book also explores issues of diversity in a rural setting, as well as introducing the reader to issues of folk pedagogy and enthopedagogy that have previously remained unexplored.
