"Even for a writer and academic of such caliber as James Banks, this book is a tour de force…The splendid editing has produced assured writing as well as authoritative views and analysis throughout, and this means that however complex the ideas, it is remarkably easy to read…The writers’ ideology and their depth of analysis means that the book looks forward as well as capturing so much of what has brought us to where we are now."--Race Equality Teaching"Collectively the chapters present an invaluable foundation to monitor multicultural policy situations and practices globally...K-12 practitioners as well as scholars of multicultural education can benefit by dipping into various chapters of interest located in the International Companion."--Teachers College Record"This, the third volume in an impressive series by Routledge, will long be a definitive resource on international multicultural education...It is a must buy for all colleges around the world and an agreeable desk volume and thoughtful stimulus for educators and scholars."--Multicultural Review"This book is essential reading for educators, policy makers, researchers, and scholars interested in the promotion of a multicultural education that is truly participatory...Its scope is especially critical for a time when the migration of so many people globally makes it ever more necessary not only to understand one’s local context, but also the context from which newcomers to the community come."--Education Review"The Routledge International Companion of Multicultural Education is a monumental undertaking. James A. Banks, a pioneering scholar in the study and advocacy of multi-cultural education, has brought together forty-seven prominent scholars from around the world to produce a magisterial collection of essays on the history, theory, and practice of multicultural education.… [This book] is destined to be an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the field of multicultural education."--Comparative Education Review
