Description

This volume brings together many of Professor Gundara's essays and contribution to the evolving international field of intercultural education. He has argued that within the field of education there is an urgent problem to address intercultural challenges in more and more complex multicultural societies, because globalization and the marginalization of groups is increasing the pressure to deny access for educational opportunities to the poorer social classes and different types of minorities.
