Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to study innovation strategies which have resulted in particularly successful forms of education for the children of immigrants or ethnic minority groups. Through case studies of innovations in OECD member countries, approaches proven to be successful in a variety of settings are identified and the common conditions under which the approaches have succeeded are described and analysed. The detailed analysis of the innovations draws attention to some effective and exemplary practices and also identifies useful criteria for the formulation of new policies in this area.
Download or read book Rethinking Multiculturalism written by Bhikhu C. Parekh and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhikhu Parekh argues for a pluralist perspective on cultural diversity. Writing from both within the liberal tradition and outside of it as a critic, he challenges what he calls the "moral monism" of much of traditional moral philosophy, including contemporary liberalism--its tendency to assert that only one way of life or set of values is worthwhile and to dismiss the rest as misguided or false. He defends his pluralist perspective both at the level of theory and in subtle nuanced analyses of recent controversies. Thus, he offers careful and clear accounts of why cultural differences should be respected and publicly affirmed, why the separation of church and state cannot be used to justify the separation of religion and politics, and why the initial critique of Salman Rushdie (before a Fatwa threatened his life) deserved more serious attention than it received. Rejecting naturalism, which posits that humans have a relatively fixed nature and that culture is an incidental, and "culturalism," which posits that they are socially and culturally constructed with only a minimal set of features in common, he argues for a dialogic interplay between human commonalities and cultural differences. This will allow, Parekh argues, genuinely balanced and thoughtful compromises on even the most controversial cultural issues in the new multicultural world in which we live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia is one of the most ethnically diverse societies in the world today. From its ancient indigenous origins to British colonisation followed by waves of European then international migration in the twentieth century, the island continent is home to people from all over the globe. Each new wave of settlers has had a profound impact on Australian society and culture.

It is one of the largest reference works of its kind, with approximately 250 expert contributors and almost one million words. Illustrated in colour and black and white, the book is both a comprehensive encyclopedia and a survey of the controversial debates about citizenship and multiculturalism now that Australia has attained the centenary of its federation.

Book excerpt: This monograph discusses the approach taken by the educational system of Queensland, Australia, to develop and implement a multicultural education program. The document is presented in five major sections. In the first section, a report of objectives, philosophy, and activities of the Queensland Working Party on Multicultural Education is presented. Broad objectives include assisting children to develop a personal identity which incorporates their ethnic heritage, encouraging them to contribute to the national identity, and helping all teachers, students, and schools recognize that education for a multicultural society is the concern and responsibility of all schools. Specific ways in which these objectives can be achieved include emphasizing the intrinsic worth of all peoples, stressing the positive social contributions of cultural differences, and developing curriculum which is multicultural in content and global in perspective. Sections II and III offer an overview of the multicultural nature of Australian society. Data are presented on cultural diversity in schools, demographic factors, and numbers of students receiving instruction in English as a second language. Section IV focuses on the role of the school in a multicultural society. Information is presented on teacher education, curriculum development, the need for multicultural sensitivity, objectives, language studies, and community programs. Section V identifies possible sources of multicultural support within the community. The final section offers recommendations for implementing multicultural objectives in areas of community involvement, teacher development, curriculum development, and school resources, personnel, and organization.
