Anti-Racism, Feminism, and Critical Approaches to Education: (Critical Studies in Education and Culture Series)

This book maintains that there has not been sufficient dialogue and cross-fertilization between various forms of critical approaches to education, notably multicultural/anti-racist education, feminist pedagogy, and critical pedagogy. Contributors from Canada and the United States address educational issues relevant to aboriginal peoples, people of color, and people of religious minorities in light of feminist and critical pedagogical theory. They are sensitive and responsive to the power relations operative in a setting, and address the multiple and contradictory subjectivities of teachers and learners on the basis of race, gender, class, religion, ethnicity, age, and ability. Edited By Roxana Ng, Pat Staton, And Joyce Scane. Includes Bibliographical References (pages [153]-168) And Index. Mode Of Access: World Wide Web. The introduction of a national policy on multiculturalism in 1971 generated great debate, controversy, and confusion.
