Save $5 off each book you order

The early praise for our latest book says it all: Rethinking  
Multicultural Education: Teaching for Racial and Cultural Justice,  
edited by Rethinking Schools editor Wayne Au, is "thoughtful and  
timely" and an "essential text."

Rethinking Multicultural Education is a collection of the best  
articles from Rethinking Schools on race and culture over the last 23  
years, with topics ranging from how we teach Christopher Columbus to  
the need to recognize the value of home languages in the classroom to  
the myth of Model Minority.

Among the writers featured in this seminal work include contributions  
by the late Asa G. Hilliard III, Lisa Delpit, Geneva Smitherman, Enid  
Lee, Christine Sleeter, Linda Christensen, Bill Bigelow, Bob  
Peterson, Stan Karp, Stephen Krashen, Harold Berlak, and Carol Tateishi.

Practical, rich in story, and analytically sharp, Rethinking  
Multicultural Education reclaims multicultural education as part of a  
larger struggle for justice and against racism, colonization, and  
cultural oppression—in schools and society.

Rethinking Multicultural Education features 40 chapters, split into  
four sections: Anti-Racist Orientations; Language, Culture, and  
Power; Transnational Identities, Multicultural Classrooms; and  
Confronting Racism in the Classroom. You can read the book's  
introduction and the table of contents at www.rethinkingschools.org/ 
publication/rme/rme.shtml.

Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Chair in Urban Education,  
University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of Dreamkeepers:  
Successful Teachers of African American Children writes that  
Rethinking Multicultural Education is "both thoughtful and timely"  
and "the resource teachers at every level have been looking for."

Jeff Chang, author Can't Stop Won't Stop says: "Rethinking  
Multicultural Education powerfully reminds us that any attempt at  
'multicultural education' that fails to raise critical questions  
among students, teachers, and administrators about racial justice is  
inadequate to the needs of this time."
