<p>"I was captured by the 'guts' of this book. It's a courageous and much needed volume which tackles, head-on and quite candidly, current world crises of power and dominance and struggles with persistent and pernicious racism. A fine balance of academic and 'real world' knowledge. An excellent contribution to discussions of education in broad cultural context. An amazing collection of scholars, activists and talented writers!" — Perry Gilmore, University of Alaska, Fairbanks</p><p>"This is a fascinating book on the role of cultural identity for political action as well as the educational implications of cultural identity. The authors weave the notion of ethnic identity and power throughout each article, thereby providing the reader with compelling evidence that these notions have serious implications for pedagogical praxis." — Gilda Maria Bloom, San Francisco State University</p>

A stimulating comparative examination of the educational ramifications of cultural identity, with implications for public policy.The relationship between ethnic identity and power has important consequences in a modern world that is changing rapidly through global immigration trends. Studies of ethnic/racial conflict of ethnic identity and power become necessarily studies of political power, social status, school achievement, and allocation of resources. The recognition of power by an ethnic group, however, creates a competition for control and a rivalry for power over public arenas, such as schools.In this context this book provides interesting and important insights into the dilemmas faced by immigrants and members of ethnic groups, by school personnel, and by policy makers. The first part of the book consists of comparative studies of ethnic identity. The second part focuses directly on some of the lessons learned from social science research on ethnic identification and the critical study of equity, with its implications for pedagogy. An interdisciplinary group of scholars offers profoundly honest and stimulating accounts of their struggles to decipher self-identification processes in various political contexts, as well as their personal reflections on the study of ethnicity.A powerful message emerges that invites reflection about self-identification processes, and that allows a deeper understanding of the empowering consequences of a clear and strong personal, cultural, ethnic, and social identity. These pages offer a keen grasp of the undeniable political contexts of education.
