| Summary: | "This book raises a range of critical issues for educators as a consequence of historical and contemporary aspects of social diversity. Using a historical and social science framework, the author examines issues concerning national minorities and immigrant communities. He outlines a view of multicultural Britain, and shows how education at all levels needs to change to embrace an intercultural position. The book also deals with interculturalism in Europe and Asia, the role of state organizations, and the need to foster 'communities of hope.'" "Based on the author's professional experience in schools, the community and further and higher education, the book assumes no detailed knowledge, and aims to make the concepts of intercultural education accessible to a wide audience." "It will be useful to students and practitioners in education, social policy and social science courses."--Jacket.
Interculturalism is a different approach from either multiculturalism or anti-racism. This text explains what it is and how it impacts on education and other areas of social studies.
