Rethinking Multicultural Education: Teaching for Racial and Cultural Justice

Rethinking Multicultural Education demonstrates a powerful vision of anti-racist, social justice education. Practical, rich in story, and analytically sharp, this book reclaims multicultural education as part of a larger struggle for justice and against racism, colonization, and cultural oppression--in schools and society.

Rethinking Multicultural Education is both thoughtful and timely. As the nation and our schools become more complex on every dimension--race, ethnicity, class, gender, ability, sexuality, immigrant status--teachers need theory and practice to help guide and inform their curriculum and their pedagogy. This is the resource teachers at every level have been looking for. --Gloria Ladson-Billings, UW Madison, author of Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Children
