Multicultural Education: Raising Consciousness

By Gloria Swindler Boutte

This new text on diversity and multiculturalism captures the complexity of multicultural education by examining issues from early childhood through elementary school, high school, university, to the workplace. Testing and parenting issues are examined along with many areas of multiculturalism including ethnicity, religion, exceptionality, socioeconomic status, and gender. Readers will have many opportunities to examine their own beliefs as this book examines diversity from the standpoint of both institutional and individual discrimination. Practical application is mixed with theoretical, research, and conceptual information.

Excellent Resource With Unique Information

I love the diversity of perspectives that Boutte takes with this book: scientific, anthropological, sociological, biological, historical, and academic. She challenges us to broaden our definition of the word multiculturalism and shows us the differences between race and ethnicity. Fine, fine text!
