Towards a Multicultural Society: Bringing Postmodernism into the Classroom.
Dumont, Clayton W., Jr.
Teaching Sociology, v23 n4 p307-20 Oct 1995
Asserts that western civilization's belief in the differentiation between object and subject impedes a true multicultural discourse. Praises the postmodernist approach, that self-evident reality is actually a politically constructed text, as being useful in identifying subjectivity. Argues for acknowledgment, rather than displacement of, individual subjectivities. (MJP)
