Review
"The depth and breadth of coverage is remarkable and the level of research and scholarship impressive." (Teachers College Record)
"The field of multicultural education has long needed a handbook of research and essays. Offered here is a landmark resource covering major theory and research of the past thirty years. Within one volume can be found writings by leading scholars, theorists, and practitioners in the field. Educators at all levels will find this an invaluable reference." (Educational Leadership)
"The Handbook is a valuable contribution. Every person concerned with the complexity of American society and the process of schooling should have it as a basic reference tool." (Multicultural Education)
"Nothing currently available in the field has the scope of this excellent Handbook." (Library Journal)
"The depth and breadth of coverage is remarkable and the level of research and scholarship impressive. Banks and McGee Banks have edited an invaluable reference guide." (Teachers College Record)
"The scope of coverage in this Handbook will make a significant contribution to a wide audience. A broad spectrum of professionals can utilize this book – teacher educators, researchers, sociologists, school psychologists, administrators, and those generally interested in the best practices for educating children in a diverse society." (Multicultural Review)
"The Handbook of Research on Multicultural Education is more than an invaluable landmark publication written and reviewed by distinguished and recognized scholars in multicultural education. It is a conceptual, theoretical, and methodological testimonial to the powerful emergence of a critically important metadiscipline with wide–reaching social, educational, and political implications." (Journal of Teacher Education)
"In the Handbook of Research on Multicultural Education, Banks and McGee Banks and their contributors have created a scholarly masterpiece that synthesizes research, theory, and policy on multicultural education. The book′s eleven parts are woven into a comprehensive body of work not likely to be equaled or duplicated soon." (The Journal of Negro Education)
