This is a book at the cutting edge of research on multiculturalism. With contributions from top American authors currently working in this area, the result is a text that not only dissects the multicultural issues facing education in the USA today, but also reveals the methods and procedures of research into this contentious area.
Researchers in education offer their views and perspectives on what guides them during their research and writing in the realms of equity, social justice, and power. They consider the interrelationship between their life experiences and the theoretical underpinnings they choose for their scholarship, discuss historical influences and professional decisions, and describe how the paradigms they use support their engagements in different analyses and debates. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
