James A. Banks, Marcelo Suarez-Orozco, and Miriam Ben-Peretz. Global Migration, Diversity, and Civic Education: Improving Policy and Practice (Multicultural Education Series). New York: Teachers College Press, 2016. Paperback, $44.95, 256 pages.
Description: Mass migration and globalization are creating new and deep challenges to education systems the world over. In this volume (part of the series Multicultural Education), some of the world's leading researchers in multicultural education and immigration discuss critical issues related to cultural sustainability, structural inclusion, and social cohesion. The authors consider how global migration is forcing nation-states to reexamine and reinvent the ways in which they socialize and educate diverse groups for citizenship and civic engagement. These chapters also address how schools can help migrant and immigrant groups attain the knowledge, values, and skills required to become fully participating citizens, while retaining important aspects of their home, community, languages, and culture. Case studies from the United States and Israel are used to illustrate how these concepts are manifested in two immigrant nations.
