Its content collectively opens the eye of prospective educators and students to gain so much knowledge in social and cultural domains that enhance teaching and learning to better prepare academic instructors for dealing with cultural diversity in the classroom. (Jonas Vangay, Ed.D, PDSO/Director of the International Students Services, Professor in Cultural Anthropology and Hmong Language, Merced Community College, California) This new book is an excellent addition to our essential and expanding compendium of literature on diversity, and I believe all students of critical pedagogy will welcome Vang's contribution and perspective. This ... adds to our understanding of the elements of teaching and learning within multicultural communities. (Peter McLaren, Professor, Graduate School of Education, UCLA) Christopher Vang has put together a brilliantly lucid, splendidly readable, and intellectually synthesized multicultural book that addresses major issues in the teaching and learning circle involving students of diverse backgrounds. This book shows teachers the methods of teaching to reach out to all students and explains the psycho-social environment which both students and teachers are sharing each and every day. I am pleased to recommend this book to all credential students in preparing prospective educators to work with children in the diverse classroom.
