SynopsisDiversity and Citizenship Education brings together in one comprehensive volume experts in citizenship and multicultural education from around the world to discuss and identify the shared issues and possibilities that exist when educating for national unity with respect for cultural diversity., "Diversity and Citizenship Education: Global Perspectives is a brilliant achievement. It addresses with breathtaking sophistication and depth one of the most fundamental problems of our times: what is the role of citizenship education in the millennium of globalization and diversity? Professor Banks has gathered an impressive group of scholars, among the very best in the world, in a volume destined to become the standard reference in the field. It should be required reading for scholars of education, globalization, multiculturalism, and citizenship." _ Marcelo M. Suarez-Orozco, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Education, Harvard University and codirector of the Harvard Immigration Projects"This book makes a brilliant and comprehensive contribution to understanding education for citizenship in a global context. It offers the best analysis yet of the contradictions between diversity and equality, and the need for democratic citizenship education in a global context. It should be read by all educators around the world who are concerned about creating just and inclusive multicultural societie s."_ Sally Tomlinson, emeritus professor of education, Goldsmiths College, University of London, and research associate, Education Department, University of Oxford, England"Kudos to James A. Banks for undertaking this exciting project and doing a superb editorial job. This set of coherent chapters by leading scholars from twelve nations is essential reading for anyone concerned with the role that multicultural/international education can play in contributing to democratic and globally conscious citizens in increasingly diverse societies in an interconnected world."_ Robert F. Arnove, Chancellor's Professor Emeritus of Education, Indiana University, Bloomington, and past president, Comparative and International Education Society"This book should be read by everyone working in multicultural, comparative, global, and social studies or civic education. It brings together cutting edge scholarship on the intersection of multicultural and citizenship education with rich descriptions of the varied meanings and experiences in differing national contexts. It is a fascinating read!"_ Carole L. Hahn, professor of education, Emory University"Rather than simply a problem of appreciating differences in race, ethnicity, and language, preparing citizens for democracy in the twenty-first century is a complex project that must be firmly rooted in social justice and sociopolitical realities. The international authors of Diversity and Citizenship Education: Global Perspectives tackle knotty problems but leave readers with hope in facing the many challenges that lie ahead if we are serious about promoting justice and equity through education. This terrific and informative book is sure to be a great help to educators."_ Sonia Nieto, School of Education, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, The increasing ethnic, racial, cultural, religious, and language diversity in nations throughout the world is forcing educators and policymakers to rethink existing notions of citizenship and nationality. To experience cultural democracy and freedom, a nation must be unified around a set of democratic values such as justice and equality that balance unity and diversity and protect the rights of diverse groups. Diversity and Citizenship Education: Global Perspectives brings together in one comprehensive volume a group of international experts on the topic of diversity and citizenship education. These experts discuss and identify the shared issues and possibilities that exist when educating for national unity and cultural diversity. Diversity and Citizenship Education: Global Perspectives presents compelling case studies and examples of successful programs and practices from twelve nations, discusses problems that arise when societies are highly stratified along race, cultural, and class lines, and describes guidelines and benchmarks that practicing educators can use to structure citizenship education programs that balance unity and diversity. The book covers a broad range of issues and includes vital information on such topics as Migration, citizenship, and education The challenge of racialized citizenship in the United States The contribution of the struggles by Indians and Blacks for citizenship and recognition in Brazil Crises of citizenship education and ethnic issues in Germany, Russia, and South Africa Conflicts between religious and ethnic factions Diversity, globalization, and democratic education
