Synopsis

Multiculturalism is one of the most intensely debated concerns of society today. This has been visibly the case in the field of school education. The questions we find ourselves obliged to confront In what ways should multiculturalism influence the content of school education? How should we interpret the concept of value community, and what organizational forms should schools adopt in a multicultural context? What kind of national symbols are appropriate in a multicultural society? These questions provide the point of departure for this book, which looks at examples taken from Sweden and which also takes into account international scholarly debate. Translated from Swedish by Graham Bowers.
