Diversity and Citizenship Education: Global Perspectives
by James A. Banks, ed.
San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2003
ISBN: 0787966517Dr. James Banks is Russell F. Stark University Professor and director of he Center for Multicultural Education at the University of Washington, Seattle. His book is based on a conference he led at the Rockefeller Foundation's Study and Conference Center in Belaggio, Italy, in 2002, and is part of a project whose goal is to reform citizenship education so that it will advance democracy as well as be responsive to the needs of cultural, ethnic, and immigrant groups within multicultural nation states.
This book brings together in one comprehensive volume a group of international experts on the topic of diversity and citizenship education. These experts discuss and identify the shared issues and possibilities that exist when educating for national unity and cultural diversity. The book presents compelling case studies and examples of successful programs and practices from twelve nations, discusses problems that arise when societies are highly stratified along race, cultural, and class lines, and describes guidelines and benchmarks that practicing educators can use to structure citizenship education programs that balance unity and diversity.
