Arab Americans: Into the Multicultural Mainstream
Wingfield, Marvin
Equity & Excellence in Education, v39 n3 p253-266 Aug 2006
Long-standing anti-Arab racism in the U.S. has worsened in recent decades, fueled by U.S. military involvement in the Middle East and by the September 11 attack on the U.S. Arab American and Muslim children have been the targets of misunderstanding and discrimination. Following a historical introduction, discrimination against Arab American and Muslim communities at the personal and institutional level is analyzed in light of Iris Marion Young's (1990) "Five Faces of Oppression." The systematic transformation of the curriculum to be fully inclusive of Arab Americans would be a major improvement. Banks' (1989, 2002) four phases of multicultural infusion is used as a guide for how this might be done. Specific types of problems and ways to address them are discussed. A list of recommended classroom materials is also provided. (Contains 5 notes.)
