Trade ReviewKlein’s thin and powerful volume is a wake-up call to all teachers, teacher-candidates, and pre-service teachers that multicultural awareness should be a core in teacher preparation and continuing education. Klein’s practical guide assists us all in becoming aware and informed reflective practitioners…Klein ends by discussing popular culture and how it shapes our thinking about multicultural education.
