About this title

Synopsis:

One of the major problems facing societies, in almost all parts of the world, is the inadequate accommodation of social equity with cultural diversity. The crisis emanating from neglect of this issue can be seen in all societies. The lack of discourse between the two systems, cultural and social, means that there are fewer shared ideologies, on the basis of which accommodations can be negotiated. The inadequacy of those responses is the issue addressed by this series of books. It seeks to contribute, through joint publication and the stimulation of greater discourse, to identify the pathways to a less selfish and parochial response to the continuing dilemma of equity and diversity. In this second volume, there are two major foci within the field of education and schooling; prejudice and its genesis, and the reduction and eradication of prejudice and discrimination. Contributors have been invited to review, critically discuss and seek to extend the theoretical and ideological approaches to these two themes, whilst accepting that containment of prejudice, and its active mode, discrimination, may be as far as educational policy and practice can reach at the moment.

Where it exists, they have been asked to examine the assumptions, underlying policy and practice in their chosen field, within the context of these two foci.
