Wiggan (urban education, sociology, and Africana studies, U. of North Carolina at Charlotte) and Hutchison (U. of North Carolina at Charlotte) assemble 17 essays that examine how the political, social, and economic structures in Africa, the United Arab Emirates, the Caribbean, Asia, Germany, the UK, Canada, and the US have impacted education in a globalized world, with specific focus on the influence of race, class, gender, ethnicity, culture, and multiculturalism. Education scholars and teachers from these countries consider the role of education in mediating social tensions and creating peace, the relationship between globalization and social policies, teacher and student migration and the need for linguistic adaptations, and minority discrimination, achievement, inclusive education, and specialized instruction. Others discuss how some postcolonial nations have become cross-culturally proficient and aim to create curricula that will keep them competitive. There is no index.
