In his new book, Michael Vavrus helps readers better understand why
issues of diversity and difference are so highly contested in the
United States and across the globe. Vavrus incorporates specific
education examples throughout the text to examine six contested
areas: race and ethnicity; socio-economic class and culture;
multicultural and ethnic studies; language; religion; and sexuality
and gender. In each of these areas, the author explores how
contrasting worldviews found in social conservatism, liberal
multiculturalism, and critical multiculturalism influence our
understandings about difference and diversity and the education
policies we develop as a result. Diversity and Education is
designed to help educators move beyond the "how can they believe
that?" knee-jerk reaction toward a more informed, strategic
understanding of belief systems and political affiliations.
