Existing and ongoing conceptual debates continue to shape how we perceive multiculturalism and other concepts that can be applied to education. Political and social consequences allow an examination of integration in contemporary policy contexts. Issues of faith schooling and citizenship remain as or more important than they have been in the past. The material in this new edition also extends these debates and provides a perfect resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students. The continuing interest from both students and within the wider academy of this material highlights that this text is not only relevant for educationalists, but also for the wider social and professional sciences.

Organized by the National Association of Multicultural Education (NAME), this volume explores the organic relationship between the past, present, and future of the discipline. In particular, the book addresses the various forms of recent social upheaval, from educational inequities and growing economic divides to extreme ideological differences and immigration conflicts. Written by a group of eminent and emerging scholars, chapters draw lessons from the past two decades and celebrate present accomplishments in order to ambition a better future through multicultural education.

Offers essays on a wide range of issues in multicultural education, including evolving policies and related research in child development.
