Foreword by Carol Brunson Phillips
This new edition builds on the theories presented in the first edition, now incorporating the perspectives of Michael Cole, Howard Gardner, Lev Vygotsky, Sonia Nieto, Lisa Delpit, and Jamie Wurzel. Frances Kendall addresses many aspects of antibias education–from the stages of child development to strategies for educating parents–focusing particularly on the teacher’s role as an agent of change. Kendall promotes teachers’ self-awareness and provides guidelines for setting up multicultural environments and curricula. Two appendixes provide bibliographies of books to increase awareness in both adults and children.
Chapters: Journeys Toward an Unknown Future • Understanding Child Development • Taking the Emotional Risk–Examining Ourselves and Our Attitudes • Talking with Parents About Multicultural Education • Preparing for Multicultural Education in the Classroom • Planning a Unit on Affirming Cultural Diversity • Developing a Multicultural Classroom Environment
"Helps teachers frame our work with young children through a provocative discussion of the role of culture in children’s relationships, patterns of play, and development of problem-solving skills and racial attitudes."
