Reviews

Visioning Multicultural Education: Past, Present, Future is the book every educator needs to read and implement in their practice. Filled with chapters from today's leading scholars, this book provides a road map for all of those committed to multicultural education as well as outlines how multicultural education needs to change and grow to ensure that its goal of equity can be achieved. --Hoyt J. Phillips III, Deputy Director, Teaching & Learning | Teaching Tolerance A project of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) When I walked into my first multicultural education course as a doctoral student 45 years ago, I knew I had found my home. In the intervening years, the field, while staying true to its founding ideals of social justice and equity, has become more inclusive and also more incisive in its critique of the forces that marginalize many of our young people. The authors and editors of this volume, both veteran and emerging scholars, remind us why multicultural education has been, and will always be a transformative project. May it continue its long and splendid journey toward justice and liberation. --Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, Language, Literacy, and Culture, College of Education, University of Massachusetts, Amherst As global pandemics, violence, poverty, and environmental destruction wage sinister wars on global communities of color, educational systems continue to struggle against the tide of intersectional oppressions, fostering apathy and ignorance despite the wishes and efforts of isolated educators. Visioning Multicultural Education provides a needed series of reflections from the nation's leading scholars, advocates, and critical educators. The authors, founders of the movement for multicultural education, senior scholar-activists, and mid-career educators carrying future generations, come together to provide critical affirmations and lessons learned from past and contemporary struggles, suggesting how educators must transform schooling if we are to survive, and indeed, thrive, as a pluralistic, integrated, socially cohesive society beyond tomorrow. As the authors show, we cannot tinker our way out of each of these global meltdowns; our futures lie in the collective solidarity that multicultural education offers. -Christopher Knaus, Professor, Education, University of Washington Tacoma
