Preferred term

critical multiculturalism and education  

Definition

  • In the 1990s, multicultural education, and a wider public policy of multiculturalism of which it formed a part, seemed largely unassailable. After all, advocacy for it had had by that time a history of 30 to 40 years, beginning with the U.S. civil rights movement and extending to other Western countries such as Canada, Britain, New Zealand, and Australia.
