Learning about the history of cultural conflict helps teachers
reduce it in classrooms. This book shows our common origins and
reviews sources of conflict in the former Yugoslavia, Northern
Ireland, and the Middle East. It reveals how prejudice and
stereotypes about racial and religious minorities create problems
in our schools. Beginning with the human exodus out of Africa
60,000 years ago, tension arose among ethnic groups separated by
geographic barriers. Changes in population, immigration, work and
the role of religion are creating clashes in society and schools.
Students from different cultural backgrounds are being thrown
together as mass transportation and telecommunications shrink our
world. Inclusive classrooms with respectful learning environments
can be achieved when we identify the sources of tension that
separate and divide us. Students are more alike than different.
Knowing about our common origin and challenges will help teachers
become more effective.
