Doing Diversity Differently in a Culturally Complex World explores
the challenges facing multicultural education in the 21st century.
It argues that the ideas fashioned in 1970s 'multiculturalism' are
no longer adequate for the culturally complex world in which we now
live. Much multicultural education celebrates superficial forms of
difference and avoids difficult questions around culture in an age
of transnational flows and hybrid identities. Megan Watkins and
Greg Noble explore the understandings of multiculturalism that
exist amongst teachers, parents and students. They demonstrate that
ideas around culture and identity don't match the complexities of
the social contexts of schooling in migrant-based nations such as
Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada and New Zealand. Doing Diversity
Differently in a Culturally Complex World draws on comprehensive
research undertaken in Australian schools. It examines how a
diverse range of schools address the challenges that
'superdiversity' poses, considering how the strengths and
limitations of each school's approach reflect wider logics of
traditional multiculturalism. In contrast, the authors argue for a
transformative multiculturalism involving a critically reflexive
approach to understanding the processes, relations and identities
of the contemporary world. With a Foreword by Fazal Rivzi, Emeritus
Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA and
Professor of Global Studies in Education, University of Melbourne,
Australia.
