Synopsis Multicultural Education as Social Activism by : Christine E. Sleeter
Connecting multicultural education with political issues of power and struggle, this book explores what multicultural education means to white people, given the unequal racial power relations in the U.S. and worldwide. It examines connections between race, gender, and social class, particularly as these connections play out for white women. While taking a feminist perspective, the author is also wary of the power white middle class women exercise in defining what counts as gender issues. Throughout the book, Sleeter argues that multicultural education was born in political struggle and can never meaningfully be disconnected from politics. Ultimately the quest for schooling for social justice is a political quest rather than a technical issue.

Synopsis Research Studies on Educating for Diversity and Social Justice by : Ashraf Esmail
In the 21st century, issues around diversity and social justice have become popular buzz words in the educational discourse. This volume moves beyond “popular buzz” to critically explore issues of diversity and social justice through research studies that capture the complexity of educating in the 21st century. Drawing from a wide range of topics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, social class, language, parental involvement and special needs along with other issues; this volume pushes the boundaries of exploring diversity and social justice through the lens of intersectionality. It will be helpful for scholars and practitioners seeking to transform the educational experiences of historically underserved students.

Synopsis Empowerment through Multicultural Education by : Christine E. Sleeter
This book reframes questions about student diversity by probing the extent to which society serves the interests of all, and by examining the empowerment of members of oppressed groups to direct social change. It examines the empowerment of children who are members of oppressed racial groups, lower class, and female, based on the ideas of multicultural education. A series of ethnographic studies illustrates how such young people view their world, their power to affect it in their own interests, and their response to what is usually a growing sense of powerlessness as they mature. The authors also conceptualize contributions of multicultural education to empowering young people, and report investigations of multicultural education projects educators have used for student empowerment. Issues in teacher education are also discussed.

Synopsis Multiculturalism and Education by : Thomas J. La Belle
This book introduces multiculturalism and its relationship to education and schooling, while also highlighting current approaches to multicultural education and placing them in a broad comparative and international context. Through a comparative view that is both domestic and international, the book explores ethnicity, race, class, and education (kindergarten through higher education) as they interact to integrate populations, while also serving vested interests and enhancing group identity and status. The authors position multiculturalism as a political and social phenomena that affects and interacts with education and its institutions. To do this, they draw upon international cases as well as the history of segmentation and integration in the United States.

Synopsis Multicultural Education by : James A. Banks
As diversity continues to increase in the United States, ethnic, cultural, social-class, and linguistic gaps are widening between teachers and their students. The rapidly changing educational landscape presents unique challenges and opportunities for addressing diversity both creatively and constructively in schools. Multicultural Education helps current and future educators fully understand sophisticated concepts of culture; become more effective practitioners in diverse classrooms; and view race, class, gender, social class, and exceptionality as intersectional concepts. Now in its tenth edition, this bestselling textbook assists educators to effectively respond to the ways race, social class, and gender interact to influence student behavior and learning. Contributions from leading authorities in multicultural education discuss the effects of class and religion on education; differences in educational opportunities for male, female, and LGBTQ students; and issues surrounding non-native English speakers, students of color, and students with disabilities. Contemporary in relevance, this timely volume promotes multicultural education as a process of school reform. Practical advice helps teachers increase student academic achievement, work effectively with parents, improve classroom assessment, and benefit from diversity.

Synopsis Multicultural Curriculum by : Ram Mahalingam
Multicultural Curriculum is a collection of original essays brought together to develop new theories and meaningful praxis to build a new paradigm for teaching multiculturalism in today's classroom. The impressive list of contributors shows how the current epistemological and pedagogical practices that are designed to forward multiculturalism actually serves to essentialize cultures--the antithesis of what multicultural education is designed to accomplish. The editors offer alternative theories, classroom teaching methods, and policies that are designed to promote true cultural understanding and equality.
