Terra, Luke; Bromley, Patricia
Multicultural Perspectives, v14 n3 p136-143 2012
In this study the authors analyze 548 secondary social science textbooks to examine the extent to which multiculturalism-related content appears over time and around the world. Findings suggest significant global increases in textbook depictions of minority rights and groups experiencing discrimination over time and in many regions. (Contains 2 tables and 4 footnotes.)
