Opis

This volume is the result of four years work on the study and teaching of multiculturalism and literature - a vicarious counterpart to the 17th-century Grand Tour. The research team examined how students approached texts from their own and other cultures, and how teachers perceived their role.

Recenzje

"Teachers of multicultural literature, especially in the high school setting who wish to develop a more effective instructional practice, should find value in this book. The authors sensitively interpret comprehensive classroom research and theoretical foundations for instruction, and they communicate sensible considerations for classroom practice without taking a dictatorial stance on the teaching of multicultural literature."
—Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy
