This handbook provides educators with resources and strategies to
create multicultural communities through art and music. The authors
propose theoretical and practical classroom methods to develop
strands of a multicultural curriculum using visual and performing
arts. Dr. Hwa Young Caruso examines the role of arts in forming
cultural identity and self identity as the United States
experiences a demographic revolution. Dr. O.C. Bobby Daniels
exposes the sub-textual denial of major contributions by
African-Americans in visual and performing arts especially music by
exposing the mythology that American culture is solely
Anglo-centric. Dr. Lisa Hochtritt warns teachers about the
limitations of a classroom that superficially embraces diversity as
an activity more than an attitude by using pre-packaged
multicultural art materials. Dr. Christine Staikidis describes an
inclusive studio art and art education curriculum which
incorporates a holistic approach to art making that is alien to the
Anglo-centric protocol. Dr. Pamela Harris Lawton describes the
unique capacity of art to communicate ideas and advocate social
change across the spectrum of diversity.
