The RoutledgeFalmer Reader in Multicultural Education : Critical Perspectives on Race, Racism and Education Paperback / softback

This unique publication brings together scholarship from both sides of the Atlantic, focusing on the central questions that shape the field of multicultural education.

It offers the reader a great opportunity to achieve a real grasp of the subject, facilitating understanding and articulation of key debates, and making important topics, concepts and theories accessible to a broad audience. The Reader is divided into four sections, covering the ideas that are at the core of contemporary multicultural education; theories, identities, practices and methods.

The second section draws together writing that focuses explicitly on the question of identities, examining the meaning of 'race'.

In the third part, the articles look at life inside multi-racial classrooms and consider how racialised and racist processes operate on a day-to-day level.

Finally, the fourth section addresses different aspects of educational research.

The editors have assembled a collection of articles of immense scope and pertinence, making this an excellent must-buy resource book for undergraduates, postgraduates. education practitioners, academics and anyone concerned with race equality and multicultural education.
