Review
Reflections on Multiculturalism is a compilation of ten essays. Five discuss theories and issues in multiculturalism and five cover the personal experiences of the authors. The theme of multiculturalism is timely as the US begins to redefine "American." The authors successfully persuade the reader to rethink the role that people of color have in the political, educational, social and economic spheres that determine the American identity. Eric Hyman, in his article "Metaphor, Language, Games, Cultures," encourages the reader to reconsider the rules that make up not only language but culture as well, in order to "lower our feeling of threatening differentness." In "The Accidental Culture: Disability and the Enduring Need for Closure," the author, James A. Helten, realizes through his own paralysis, that closure in life will never come and that we need to judge ourselves on our character, not our disability, color or culture. Finally, the editor, Richard Eddy, claims that multiculturalism is the last battle of the Civil War because it requires one to re-negotiate one's self, one's knowledge, and understand that multiculturalism is a chaotic system where we can reinvent who we want to be. Reflections on Multiculturalism should be read by anyone who recognizes the importance of our multicultural society and wants to learn more about it. This book would make an excellent resource for a college-level class in ethnic studies or multiculturalism. -- From Independent Publisher
