5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for a touchy topic, May 27, 2000
By Brigid Richards "brigid@srcs.org" (San Francisco Bay Area, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've used this book teaching 10 classes in Multicultural Education for California State University at Hayward. It covers some "hot spots" like gender, special education, race, and social class. I've never had a student who expressed dislike for the book. It provokes dissent, emotions, and great discussions but maintains a well researched and professional style. I would recommend it to any professor of multicultural education and I eagerly await the 4th edition, coming this July!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, February 12, 2008
By Nomad (Cali) - See all my reviews
Good book discussing some basic issues facing teachers in multicultural settings (or any setting for that matter).

If you are already familiar with the topics covered then it'll be a refresher. If you are oblivious to some of these ideas then this will be a good book for you.

This was a required book in my course but I bought the 5th edition as it is nearly identical, they added and removed a nonessential, testing insert for the 6th edition. I saved a lot of money by going with the previous edition which is important for many students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewing Banks & Banks Mutlicultural 2007 Textbook, June 26, 2007
I was very impress with the material covered in this book. The authors did a thorough job from the historical perspectives of mutlicultural in this country. From the historical to current events that affect multiculture and especially multicultural education. I like the way the incorporated GT students as well as Special Ed students in this book. For these students are also found in the minority cultures and as they pointed out the are so overly represented in the Special Ed programs and not as much in the GT programs. As educators we have more work to do to make sure all students receive an equitable and quality education.
