"'I am large, I contain multitudes,' boasted Walt Whitman in his
celebration of the American voice and spirit, 'Song of Myself.' His
claim applies equally well to the second edition of the Handbook
of Research on Multicultural Education, ably edited by James A.
Banks and Cherry A. McGee Banks. Newly revised and expanded, this
volume indeed contains a multitude of voices and perspectives,
providing an invaluable resource for all those interested in issues
of equity and the role of education in a pluralistic
democracy."
— Pam Grossman, professor, Stanford University, School of
Education
"Laden with new scholarship and updated revisions of some of the
earlier chapters, this carefully conceptualized second edition of
the Handbook promises to be an even more indispensable resource
than its highly acclaimed predecessor. It presents both depth and
breath in the field and is essential reading for new scholars,
established scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike—
indeed, anyone seeking equality of educational opportunities for
all students."
— Vanessa Siddle Walker, professor, Division of Educational
Studies, Emory University
"This book is a treasure trove for anyone who is serious about
multicultural education. Parents, teachers, undergraduates,
postgraduates, and accomplished scholars alike will encounter ideas
and arguments that are challenging, positive, and based on solid
research. The editors have brought together an enormous range of
debate, theory, and fact in a single volume that will act as both
an indispensable reference tool and a catalyst to new ideas and
approaches."
— David Gilborn, professor of education, University of
London, Institute of Education and editor of the international
journal, Race, Ethnicity and Education
"The Handbook is the most comprehensive and up-to-date
collection of major research and scholarship related to
multicultural education. Every scholar and practicing
educator¾both in multicultural education and general
education— should read it."
— Ana Maria Villegas, professor of education, Montclair State
University
"It is hard to imagine a multicultural scholar, researcher, K-12 educator or administrator who could afford not to be thoroughly conversant with the rich content of this defining Handbook. Broadened, updated, and revised, this unrivalled second edition captures the diversity and impact of essential contemporary issues such as educational standards and provides a solid foundation for anticipating future developments."— Evelyn Kalibala, director of social studies and multicultural education, New York City Public Schools
