Educating Citizens in a Multicultural Society Summary

Educating Citizens in a Multicultural Society by Banks

In this second edition of Educating Citizens in a Multicultural Society - which includes three new chapters - Banks argues that an effective citizenship education helps students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and values needed to function effectively within their cultural communities, nation states, regions, and the global community. It also helps students to acquire cosmopolitan perspectives and values needed to attain equality and social justice for people around the world. In the new chapters, Banks draws heavily upon his recent work which focuses on how students in multicultural nations around the world can be educated in ways that will help them to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and values needed to make decisions and to take action to create a more just and humane world.

This is an outstanding book, one that is worthwhile reading for all students, educators, and those interested in the political process. - Laurel Garrick Duhaney, State University of New York, College at New Paltz, Review in MultiCultural Review Educating Citizens in a Multicultural Society will provide both the novice and the expert with an instructive perspective for considering multicultural education.
