Description: Mahiri argues that multicultural education needs to move beyond racial categories defined by the social, political, and economic forces of white supremacy. Exploring contemporary and historical scholarship on race, the emergence of multiculturalism, and the rise of the digital age, Deconstructing Race investigates micro-cultural practices and provides a framework for understanding the diversity of individuals and groups.
Review Quotes:
"The gem of Mahiri's text is that it works on both the scholarly and the personal levels simultaneously. Mahiri presents his own stories as well as those of his interviewees and captures the core of the deconstruction of race."
