Critical Multicultural Conversations

Seventeen American academics--most from California--contribute to this collection of essays offering a variety of perspectives that challenge status quo conceptions of mainstream multiculturalism and lay the groundwork for the development of a critical multiculturalism concerned with the issues of democracy and diversity. The text differs from many in the authors' efforts to translate research and critical theoretical perspectives into workable programs that can effect real change. For educators, administrators, counselors, school psychologists, and community activists. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
