The major purpose of the Multicultural Education Series is to provide
preservice educators, practicing educators, graduate students,
scholars, and policy makers with an interrelated and comprehensive set
of books that
summarizes and analyzes important research, theory, and practice
related to the education of ethnic, racial, cultural, and language
groups in the United States and the education of mainstream students
about diversity.
The books in the Series provide research, theoretical, and practical
knowledge about the behaviors and learning characteristics of students
of color, language minority students, and low-income students. They
also provide
knowledge about ways to improve academic achievement and race relations in educational settings.
