First Published in 1996. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Examining college and university curricula, this annotated
bibliography cites over 300 articles, books, and other works that
document the impact of multiculturalism on higher education during
the 1980s and 1990s. Included are writings that address change in
both the traditional disciplines and the interdisciplinary fields
of women's studies, African American studies, and ethnic studies,
with emphasis on other controversial works that focus on
integrating the emerging scholarship into core curricula and on the
evolution and current status of that scholarship.
After an introduction to multiculturalism, the book looks at works
that define multiculturalism and examines its effect on
traditionalists and reformers alike. The authors discuss
institutional experiences, citing specific examples of curricular
integration and resistance. Quantitative and qualitative studies
are highlighted to show multicultural change in the academy,
including political correctness debates. Each chapter begins with a
summary of major issues and works, an appendix lists all referenced
journals, and there is an author index.
This book provides easy access to a wide range of literature across
many disciplines and fields. It will be useful to faculty and
administrators, researchers and students in women studies, African
American studies, ethnic studies, and other interdisciplinary
fields.
