Connecting multicultural education with political issues of power and struggle, this book explores what multicultural education means to white people, given the unequal racial power relations in the U.S. and worldwide. It examines connections between race, gender, and social class, particularly as these connections play out for white women. While taking a feminist perspective, the author is also wary of the power white middle class women exercise in defining what counts as gender issues. Throughout the book, Sleeter argues that multicultural education was born in political struggle and can never meaningfully be disconnected from politics. Ultimately the quest for schooling for social justice is a political quest rather than a technical issue.

This book reframes questions about student diversity by probing the extent to which society serves the interests of all, and by examining the empowerment of members of oppressed groups to direct social change. It examines the empowerment of children who are members of oppressed racial groups, lower class, and female, based on the ideas of multicultural education. A series of ethnographic studies illustrates how such young people view their world, their power to affect it in their own interests, and their response to what is usually a growing sense of powerlessness as they mature. The authors also conceptualize contributions of multicultural education to empowering young people, and report investigations of multicultural education projects educators have used for student empowerment. Issues in teacher education are also discussed.

In the 21st century, issues around diversity and social justice have become popular buzz words in the educational discourse. This volume moves beyond “popular buzz” to critically explore issues of diversity and social justice through research studies that capture the complexity of educating in the 21st century. Drawing from a wide range of topics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, social class, language, parental involvement and special needs along with other issues; this volume pushes the boundaries of exploring diversity and social justice through the lens of intersectionality. It will be helpful for scholars and practitioners seeking to transform the educational experiences of historically underserved students.
