Review Quote "This is a strong and cohesive approach to laying out the foundation for multicultural education in U.S. schools. It provides a socio-cultural framework for understanding the intersection of different cultural groups who (for most teachers) will come together in the classroom. It addresses issues of race, ethnicity, SES/class, sexual orientation, ability/disability, religion, etc." New Feature 1. Multicultural Education: A Foundation for Schools. 2.
