This stunning new edition retains the book's broad aims, intended audience, and multidisciplinary approach. New chapters take into account the more current backdrop of globalization, particularly events such as 9/11, and attendant developments that make a reconsideration of race relations in education quite urgent.

This second edition focuses on the most pressing contemporary issues surrounding race and education. Original essays provide background information on the complex intersection of race with the dynamic variables of popular culture, identity formation and state/public policy creation in the new millennium.
