Understanding Human Differences: Multicultural Education for a Diverse America

Abstract

A clear, engaging look at the issues of diversity in 21st Century America, focusing on culture, the individual, and institutions. This well-written, accessible, widely popular text uses a stimulating inquiry approach to engage students in discussion and debate around the most critical issues of diversity in America. Grounded in research from behavioral and social sciences–including education, psychology, history, sociology, biology, anthropology, women’s studies, and ethnic studies–the book uses the question and answer format to bring real meaning and understanding to the topics.
