Beskrivning
The Uses of Culture , a collection of nine of Cameron McCarthy's most provocative essays, explores the issues of race, educational reform and cultural politics. This volume looks at the limitations of the cultural exceptionalism which underwrite current curriculum projects such as Afrocentrism, Multiculturalism and Eurocentrism.Drawing upon a variety of literatures as well as popular culture, McCarthy contends that any single ruling identity at the core of a curriculum will be restricting. He offers as a solution a curriculum reform based on the complex, cultural linkages and associations that exist among all human groups, which acknowledge their many sources of knowledge.

"Cameron McCarthy's The Uses of Culture: Education and theLimits of Ethnic Affiliation is a rigorously argued, brilliantly conceived and cogently written book about the politics of identity and identity of politics in contemporary education. McCarthy's book not only examines the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality in theory, and in the classroom, but he provides as well incisive readings of popular texts against the backdrop of contentious cultural debates. The Uses of Culture is tour de force of educational and cultural studies!" -- Michael Eric Dyson, Visiting Distinguished Professor of African-American Studies, Columbia University, and author of Race Rules: Navigatingthe Color Line"Cameron McCarthy's The Uses of Culture: Education and theLimits of Ethnic Affiliation is a rigorously argued, brilliantly conceived and cogently written book about the politics of identity and identity of politics in contemporary education.
