"Since the 1980’s, Rethinking Schools magazine has been renowned for its commitment to racial equality in education. Now, Rethinking Schools has collected the best articles that deal with race and culture in the classroom in Rethinking Multicultural Education: Teaching for Racial and Cultural Justice. Moving beyond a simplistic focus on heroes and holidays, and foods and festivals, Rethinking Multicultural Education demonstrates a powerful vision of anti-racist, social education. Practical, rich in story, and analytically sharp, Rethinking Multicultural Education reclaims multicultural education as part of a larger struggle for justice and against racism, colonization, and cultural oppression – in schools and society."
