For peoples whose legal agreements, treaties, and other accords
and conventions with the United States have been violated,
multiculturalism as a pedagogical tool often becomes suspect of
reinforcing the continued reification and abstraction of their
cultures and nations with little if any real meaning for
educational and social transformation. The continued oppression and
repression of the exercise of self-determination for African
Americans; the persistence of policies aimed at the destruction of
indigenous populations and land; the insidious continuation of
classical colonialism in the case of Puerto Rico are all vivid
reminders to these peoples of the racist, classist, sexist, and
homophobic patriarchy that characterizes their status. In order to
restore people's rights to fully determine their own histories,
Jackson and Solis point out that it is imperative to destroy the
material foundations that breed and recycle the ideology,
discourse, and cultural practices of domination. It is not enough
to celebrate diversity and difference; there must be grand-scale
social, political, economic, and educational transformation.
