Drawing out the major themes that have shaped the field of multicultural education as well as outlining the development of Banks' own career, these articles, chapter and papers focus on eight key issues: black Studies and the teaching of history; research and research issues; teaching ethnic studies; teaching social studies for decision-making and citizen action; multiethnic education and school reform; multicultural education and knowledge construction; the global dimensions of multicultural education; democracy, diversity, and citizenship education.
