Publisher's Synopsis
This text is appropriate for courses in: Multicultural Education, Cross-Cultural Education, Bilingual Bicultural Education, Cultural Diversity, Fundamentals of Bilingual Education, Teacher's role in Multicultural Education, and Bilingualism and Education.
Freire's problem-posing format of listening, dialogue, and action, combined with selected works of literature create this unique book. The text is designed to harness students' social imaginations as they explore their own perceptions of diversity and how the world works for those who are different from them. The complex issues involved in all diversity issues are brought to light for students as they connect their own experiences to what they read. The combination of literature and the personal experiences of the students produce a class that is unique and different each time because the interactions spring from the students themselves.
