MUST HAVE

I'm getting a Masters in Education and read this book for my multiculture ed class. It is incredible. Good sources and very through. It will make you critic and re-evalute your prejudices. I think it is a must have for educators to read. As a teacher one must constantly be reading new books/articles on their content and their learners. I think this book is more geared towards secondary education, than elementry. It is easy to read and very insightful.

Got it next day!!!

Book was in good condition, best of all, I got it the next day! I'm very pleased.

Great Book

Product was sent in timely matter! My classmates and I are very pleased. Thank You!

Good Perspective

We used this book in our doctoral level Urban Education class this semester. Very informative.

Excellent tool for a touchy topic

I've used this book teaching 10 classes in Multicultural Education for California State University at Hayward. It covers some "hot spots" like gender, special education, race, and social class. I've never had a student who expressed dislike for the book. It provokes dissent, emotions, and great discussions but maintains a well researched and professional style. I would recommend it to any professor of multicultural education and I eagerly await the 4th edition, coming this July!
