Title: Democracy in emergent states
Description: "In a post-9/11 world, the benefits of understanding diversity take on urgent meaning. As children from around the world continue to pour into U.S. classrooms, an understanding of cultural and linguistic diversity in its broadest sense moves to the foreground. However, diversity is at the heart of today's education debates, and school policies and programs designed to encourage and embrace diversity are often met with public ire and a deep misunderstanding of how diversity serves learning. This work explains how diversity is an essential element in classroom settings."--Jacket.
