Reviews
Marshall Cavendish claims to have published this two-volume supplement to the Encyclopedia of Multiculturalism (LJ 4/15/94) because of a continued strong need for reference materials on multiculturalism. The Supplement, like the original six-volume set, aims to collect information in one place on groups and issues that were previously left out of popular reference works. Since multiculturalism is now a more prevalent part of contemporary life, however, most newer reference books cover it in their entries, and there is not much here that cannot be found elsewhere. Furthermore, multiculturalism is defined so broadly that the work reads like a summary of the current events of the past four years without any sharp, theoretical focus (e.g., see the entry "Gore, Tipper"). Still, some recent controversies are handled well (e.g., Columbus Day celebrations), and young adults and general readers may find the compilation of information on so many diverse groups in one source useful. Together, the two volumes include 584 entries, and the appendixes in the second volume offer an updated time line, resources, filmography, bibliography, subject list, and general index, all of which supersede the original six-volume set.
