Aprašymas
Many of the nation's most eminent education scholars and researchers describe constructive and effective ways to respond to and resist the attacks on diversity and multicultural education and to support democracy.
In this timely volume, James A. Banks and a stellar group of contributors push back on the national and cogent attacks on diversity and multicultural education, both of which have accelerated after the 2024 presidential election. Each chapter author (1) describes the difficulties for diversity, multicultural education, and democracy during the next decade and (2) offers interventions and actions that can be taken by educators and policymakers to lessen and reduce these challenges. Standing Strong in Undemocratic Times describes ways in which democracy is fragile and endangered in the United States and how teaching about diversity in schools, colleges, and universities can help to promote democracy in the nation.
