Understanding Conflict and Change in a Multicultural World
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-0766-0 (ISBN)
Beginning with the human exodus out of Africa 60,000 years ago, tension arose among ethnic groups separated by geographic barriers. Changes in population, immigration, work and the role of religion are creating clashes in society and schools.
Students from different cultural backgrounds are being thrown together as mass transportation and telecommunications shrink our world. Inclusive classrooms with respectful learning environments can be achieved when we identify the sources of tension that separate and divide us. Students are more alike than different. Knowing about our common origin and challenges will help teachers become more effective.
H. Roy Kaplan, Ph.D. teaches at the University of South Florida and has been an educator for over forty years. He was an advisor to President Bill Clinton’s race relations initiative and was named a “Hero of Education” by the U.S. Department of Education.
