Description:
This volume is a path-breaking contribution to the study of efforts of Diaspora, indigenous, and minority groups, broadly defined, to use education (formal and informal) to sustain cultural continuity while grappling with the influences and demands of wider globalizing, nationalizing, or other homogenizing and assimilatory forces.
Review Quotes:
"... a fine introduction to the complexities of 'Cultural Education.' Each of the culture groups presented provides extended information and understanding of the collisions and conundrums it must address in order to make its way toward defining, maintaining, and sustaining its cultural voice. This book serves a broad international community of scholars and school professionals."--Herve Varenne, Teachers College, Columbia University United States
"...contributes significantly to current conversations on multicultural education.... and promises to add substantively to the terrain by giving space to the voices of various ethnic and cultural groups that are not commonly heard. This is both laudable and educative."--Maenette Benham, Michigan State University, United States
