Culture and Self in Multicultural Education: Reflections on Discourse, Text, and Practice.
Hoffman, Diane M.
American Educational Research Journal, v33 n3 p545-69 Fall 1996
This interpretive analysis of multicultural education in the United States suggests that discourse, text, and practice in the multicultural domain are associated with unexamined assumptions about culture, self, and individual identity. A critical analysis of these ideas supports the need for a more reflexive multicultural discourse. (SLD)
