Multicultural Education Policies In Canada And The United States

Reva Joshee & Lauri Johnson

Overview

Multicultural Education Policies in Canada and the United States uses a dialogical approach to examine responses to increasing cultural and racial diversity in both countries. It compares and contrasts foundational myths and highlights the sociopolitical contexts that affect the conditions of citizenship, access to education, and inclusion of diverse cultural knowledge and languages in educational systems.

This will interest readers in the areas of multiculturalism, education, public policy, and ethnic studies, and will be valuable to policy developers and activists in the fields of equity and diversity.

Comments on the Book by Leading Scholars

"This is an enormously important book, highly original and provocative. The scholarship is impeccable and the entire volume is artfully constructed. It should serve as standard fare in any educational policy library for many years."
