Review: As a Canadian I usually read and advocate Canadian authors especially in the area of multiculturalism as it affects education. Why? Because CANADA is the only country in the world that proclaims MULTICULTURALISM AS NATIONAL LAW. However, I found this book very valuable in gaining a perspective on multiculturalism as it has developed in Anglophone countries around the world (I'm not sure why Volk includes Germany here though). If you are doing research on multiculturalism and the arts in education, I highly recommend this book for a historical perspective on the topic. Volk is thorough and well read and remains as truthful and to the point at possible when discussing such blatant dichotomies that exist in the American psyche as world promotion of peace in association with the UN whilst maintaining racism and desegregation at home.
