Multiculturalism and Cultural Literacy.
O'Keefe, Dennis
International Journal of Social Education, v9 n1 p66-80 Spr-Sum 1994
Discusses multiculturalism in its context as a form of intellectual and historical atonement and points out its internal contradictions. Argues that the Western culture is becoming global, or universal; and, therefore, there should be no school-enforced multiculturalism. (CFR)
