Multicultural Education Policies in Canada and the United States

Reva Joshee & Lauri Johnson, eds. Vancouver, BC: University of British Columbia Press, 2008; 257 pp; ISBN: 978-0774-813266, paper $32.95 us.
Multicultural Education Policies in Canada and the United States uses a dialogical approach to examine responses to increasing cultural and racial diversity in both countries. The chapters compare and contrast foundational myths and highlight the sociopolitical contexts that affect the conditions of citizen­ship, access to education, and inclu­sion of di­verse cultural knowledge and languages in educational systems. The volume is an invaluable resource for educators, policy developers, scholars and activists in the fields of equity and diversity.
