This volume is a path-breaking contribution to the study of efforts of diaspora, indigenous, and minority groups, broadly defined, to use education (formal and informal) to sustain cultural continuity while grappling with the influences and demands of wider globalizing, nationalizing, or other homogenizing and assimilatory forces. Particular attention is given to groups that use educational elements other than second-language teaching alone in programs to sustain their particular cultural traditions. The focus of the book on cultural sustainability changes the nature of questions posed in...

The book considers education in both formal and informal settings, and looks critically at the accepted dichotomy between education and popular culture. It argues that popular...

Educational research on migration and minorities has a long record of research and discussion in which the so-called conflict of cultures has been seen as the crucial reason for the marginalization of migrants and minority members since they grow up with a fundamental cleavage between cultures.
In educational theory, this thesis is now under review because it has been shown to support essentializing processes of ethnization and culturalization. The in-between-ness of minorities is no longer seen only as a hindrance but also as a benefit for biographical development. In this...

Through a detailed analysis, Teaching Contested Narratives reveals the works of identity, historical narratives and memory as these are enacted in classroom dialogues, canonical texts and school ceremonies. Presenting ethnographic data from local contexts in Cyprus and Israel, and demonstrating the relevance to educational settings in countries which suffer from conflicts all over the...

The Promise of Integrated and Multicultural Bilingual Education presents the results of a long-term ethnographic study of the integrated bilingual Palestinian-Jewish schools in Israel that offer a new educational option to two groups of Israelis--Palestinians and Jews--who have been in conflict for the last one hundred years. Their goal is to create egalitarian bilingual multicultural environments to facilitate the growth of youth who can acknowledge and respect "others" while maintaining loyalty to their respective cultural traditions. In this book, Bekerman reveals the complex...
