Multicultural education emerged during the Civil Rights Movement with a focus on eradicating both interpersonal and systemic racism. However, over time, many people have come to understand and enact multicultural education in ways that evade grappling directly with racism. This dilution has occurred for several reasons, including White teachers' rearticulations of multicultural education as \"getting along\" or learning to be colorblind and neoliberal reforms that have reduced it to a celebration of cultural diversity while maintaining silence about racism. This volume includes ten of Sleeter's articles that explicitly locate multicultural education within critical understandings of race, racism, and colonialism, offering both theoretical and practical discussions of what that means. The book features a unique focus on why multicultural education needs to be critical and what it means to be critical. It directly connects theory with practice by offering vignettes of practice following theoretical or conceptual discussions. It examines how the power of Whiteness and racial capitalism has forestalled progressive education and social change. It spans multicultural education from its inception in the 1970s through the current attacks on Critical Race Theory, showing how it has been targeted, ignored, or misused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 162 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780807786291\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christine E.
