Beskrivning

This study is concerned with the ways in which a dozen knowledge-based societies of Western Europe and the English-speaking world respond to unprecedented cultural and linguistic diversity resulting from the flow of immigrants and refugees since World War II. It asks how public policy has sought to use schooling to minimize the potentially divisive and inequitable effects of this diversity and to provide opportunities to the children of immigrants. It asks also how the nature of each of these societies affects the meaning of integration into each of them.

Innehållsförteckning

Educating Immigrant Children: Schools and Language Minorities in Twelve Nations is certainly the most comprehensive review of its topic available in English at this time. The book is strongly recommended for courses on immigration and education, social foundations of education, bilingual and multicultural education and comparative education. It is also a valuable contribution to a very large international literature on education and minority/migrant issues for its consistent presentation of complex issues in all their complexity -- Education Review
