Deculturalization and the Struggle for Equality : Multicultural Education in the United States and the Global Economy (5TH 07 - Old Edition)by Joel Spring
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:This text is a concise history of Anglo American racism and school policies affecting dominated groups in the United States. It focuses on the educational, legal, and social construction of race and racism, and on educational practices related to deculturalization, segregation, and the civil rights movement. Spring emphasizes issues of power and control in schools and shows how the dominant Anglo class has stripped away the culture of minority peoples in the U.S. and replaced it with the dominant culture. In the process, he gives voice to the often-overlooked perspectives of African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and Native Americans. An understanding of these historical perspectives and how they impact current conditions and policies is critical to teachers success or failure in todays diverse classrooms. Very brief and affordable, Deculturalization and the Struggle for Equality is an ideal supplement for Introduction/Foundations of Education, Multicultural Education, or any course that seeks to expand student notions of what U.S. education has been and can be. Book News Annotation:American educational institutions have often served as the site of
deculturalization (the process of destroying a people's culture and
replacing it with a new culture) for oppressed minorities in the
United States. Spring (City U. of New York) reviews these historical
processes of deculturalization in individual chapters on Native
Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanic/Latin
Americans. In this new edition, he adds a chapter on the Civil Rights
Movement and the struggle for multicultural education.
