Routledge International Handbook of Multicultural Education Research in Asia Pacific cover

This handbook for educators and researchers consists of an unparalleled set of conceptual essays and empirical studies that advance new perspectives and build empirical ground on multicultural education issues from 10 different selected societies in Asia Pacific. This unique, edited book will be a solid resource particularly for graduate students, educators, and researchers involved in multicultural education, given its multiple balances in terms of 1) conceptual essays, empirical studies, and practical implications; 2) contributions from emerging scholars, established scholars, and leading scholars in the field; and 3) comprehensive coverage of key subareas in multicultural education. Given the growing need for in-depth understanding of multicultural education issues in the Asia Pacific region where we have witnessed increasing human mobility and interaction across countries and societies, this edited book is the only research-based handbook entirely focusing on multicultural education in Asia Pacific.

'This innovative volume engages with core theoretical and empirical issues concerned with education and diversity in a region of rapidly increasing global significance.' -Leslie Bash, Social Science, UCL Institute of Education, UK.

'Given the growing significance of multicultural education in many countries around the world, this volume is both timely and needed. By highlighting the unique contexts, challenges, and accomplishments of multicultural education in 10 societies in Asia Pacific, the editors and the authors of this significant text provide a valuable service to educators around the world. The editors, already well known and highly respected researchers in the field, contribute a valuable service to all of us who care about equality, justice, and diversity in education. Academics, researchers, teachers, policymakers and others will find this volume helpful in illuminating the meaning of multicultural education in another part of the world.' - Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, Language, Culture, and Teaching, College of Education, University of Massachusetts, USA

'This handbook significantly contributes to the analytical work on multicultural education by showcasing the diverse perspectives employed in each of the countries in Asia Pacific and highlighting the lessons learned. The editors, who are highly respected in the field, through this publication, present how multicultural education is an effort to reflect the values of the changing society into the classroom and vice versa. Educators, researchers, policy makers and teachers alike will find the critical lenses applied in this handbook to be practical, as well as inspiring, towards enabling a truly inclusive and transformative education for all in the Asia-Pacific and globally.' - Utak Chung, Director, Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) under the auspices of UNESCO, Sou
