The Dynamics of Multiculturalism in "Music Matters: A Philosophy of Music Education"
Bradley, Deborah
Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, v14 n3 p10-26 Nov 2015
This review of "Music Matters," Second Edition, focuses on the portion of Chapter 13: "Music Education and Curriculum," dedicated to the discussion of multicultural music education. Discussions are presented through the discursive lens of antiracism and critical multiculturalism, positioned against the backdrop of the racial violence experienced in the U.S. between August 2014 and July 2015, and the long history of human rights abuses in both Canada and the U.S. Following from a discussion of multiculturalism's initial emergence as a way to remedy racism, and an investigation of the relationship between multiculturalism and power, the review turns to Elliott and Silverman's preference for the term intercultural (over multicultural) music education. An examination of the differences between interculturalism and multiculturalism, and the possible unintended consequences of an interculturalist stance in music education, conclude the review.
