This conceptually rich and empirically grounded book draws upon
expertise from a panel of emerging and established international
scholars to explore the institutionalization and effect of
multicultural education on a global scale. Previous studies of
multicultural education have largely ignored the significance of
understanding the combination of multiple sociopolitical influences on
multicultural education in both policy and practice. Filling this
void, this book sheds light on the two main reasons for taking a
“glocal” perspective on multicultural education. First, children
should be provided with meaningful learning opportunities to acquire
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to live in a culturally
and ethno-linguistically diverse society, where the distinction
between the local and the global is becoming blurred. Second,
understanding both the “global grammar” and the “local
semantics” of multicultural education helps researchers and
policy-makers grasp the whole picture of multicultural education as an
evolving social construct and phenomenon. This new book provokes a new
round of discussion and research to expand and enrich our inquiry into
cultural diversity and educational inclusion.
