Education in a Multicultural Society: What Sort of Education? What Sort of Society?
Young, Jonathan C.
Canadian Journal of Education, v4 n3 p5-21 1979
The purpose of this paper is to argue that the term "multicultural education" has obtained no single, universally acceptable meaning. Instead it is possible to delineate several different interpretations of the concept, each of which carries with it an explicit or implicit vision of Canadian society. (Author)
