Handbook of Research on Multicultural Education
by James Banks and Cherry A. McGee Banks, editors
San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2001
ISBN: 0787958948
- Drawing on concepts, theories and methodology from history, ethnic studies, women's studies, and the social and behavioral sciences, the field of multicultural education is a metadiscipline designed to increase educational equity for all students. Now the leading figures in multicultural education have drawn thirty years of research and scholarship together into one volume, the first resource of its kind. In forty seven chapters, this book discusses the history, philosophy, practice, and future of the field. The book includes discussion of controversial current research, objective evaluation of debate on the subject, descriptions of racial, ethnic, gender, and class issues, significant essays on women's studies, analysis of the effects of busing and desegregation on student achievement and racial attitudes, summaries of research on the effective education of specific ethnic groups, and groundbreaking directions for future research. This comprehensive volume provides the basis for a shorter handbook, listed next, that bridges this research into practice in a shorter, more easily applied form.
