The Intersection of Cultures: Multicultural Education in the United States and the Global Economy (Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education)

The Intersection of Cultures: Multicultural Education in the United States and the Global Economy, Third Edition offers a unique, problem-solving approach to the complex issues involved in educating culturally and linguistically diverse students. Perfect for any course devoted wholly or in part to the study of multicultural education, the text addresses a wealth of topics and is filled with rich examples of the many cultural groups living in the United States. All chapters include model multicultural lessons for elementary through college classes. These lessons serve a dual function—first, they can be used to help teach the content of the chapter, and second, elementary, middle school, and high school teachers can use these lessons in their own classes. Each chapter concludes with a “Personal Frames of References” section designed to engage students in relating multiculturalism to their own lives.
