Multiculturalism: A Language with Many Dialects.
Swift, John N.
Liberal Education, v81 n4 p20-23 Fall 1995
A participant in a seminar on multiculturalism suggests that the discourse on cultural diversity actually reflects two distinct issues: (1) pluralism, individual dignity, and mutual understanding, and (2) historical oppression and the quest for equity. The challenge for college educators is to bring together these issues and use the college classroom as a locus for social change. (MSE)
