Reader Reviews
This review is from: Multicultural Education: Issues and Perspectives, 3rd Edition (Paperback) I've used this book teaching ten classes in Multicultural Education for California State University at Hayward. It covers some "hot spots" like gender, special education, race, and social class. I've never had a student who expressed dislike for the book. It provokes dissent, emotions, and great discussions but maintains a well researched and professional style. I would recommend it to any professor of multicultural education and I eagerly await the 4th edition, coming this July!
