Van Patten (emeritus professor, U. of Arkansas, Fayetteville; Florida Atlantic U., Boca Raton) and Bergen (education, U. of S. Carolina-Columbia) offer a concise text on multiculturalism in education, for undergraduate and graduate students in global/comparative education, diversity, and multiculturalism classes. Thirty-four very brief case studies are grouped into sections on diversity in America; education and society; future connections; understanding children's individual needs; technology and the information age; and civility, comity, and ethics. Each case is followed by questions for discussion. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
