Abstract

This important collection of essays offers a sustained philosophical examination of fundamental questions raised by multicultural education in primary and secondary schools. The essays focus on both theory and policy. They discuss the relation between culture and identity, the role of reason in bridging cultural divisions, and the civic implications of multi-culturalism in the teaching of history and literature. Several of the essays examine aspects of multicultural policies in California and New York, as well as the curriculum guidelines promulgated by the National Council for Social Studies. Although much has been published on the subject of multi-culturalism, including the cultural war on American campuses, there is very little available on the impact of multicultural policies for primary and secondary education. So this is a volume that will be welcomed by all those interested in multicultural education: philosophers and historians of education, sociologists, professional educators and policy-makers.

Abstract

Algemene vorming bereidt leerlingen door middel van een gemeenschappelijk leerplan voor op deelname aan de samenleving waarin zij leven. Is het echter wel zo vanzelfsprekend dat alle leerlingen, ongeacht hun culturele verscheidenheid, hetzelfde moeten leren? Om deze vraag te beantwoorden worden in dit proefschrift eerst enkele discussies, waaronder die over de Nederlandse 'basisvorming', geanalyseerd. Vervolgens wordt nagegaan op welke manier de relatie tussen gemeenschappelijkheid en verscheidenheid in de meer systematisch-theoretische literatuur wordt bediscussieerd. Tenslotte wordt aan de hand van de zgn. 'praxeologie' van Derbolav voorgesteld op welke manier culturele verscheidenheid in de algemene vorming aan bod zou kunnen komen.

Abstract

The changing demography of the workforce presents challenges and opportunities to individuals and to the organizations of which they are a part. This volume examines how diversity in organizations affords benefits such as a broader talent pool, but at the same time can lead to tension, misunderstanding and, at times, outright hostility.
