Multicultural Theorists and the Social Studies.
Ellington, Lucien
Social Studies, v89 n2 p57-60 Mar-Apr 1998
Questions the multiculturalists' vision that an ethnic group's self-esteem and subsequent academic achievement can improve through the study of its culture. Cites the paucity of studies supporting the effectiveness of interventions to improve inter-ethnic group attitudes. Maintains that some multiculturalists are more interested in superficial appearances than substantiative multicultural content. (MJP)
