This in-depth look at the relationship between service learning and issues of diversity is a virtual blueprint for helping teachers (pre- and in-service) bring increased understanding of diversity to all classrooms. Because there is only so much you can teach about culture, difference, and power in a university classroom, service learning is becoming an essential companion to multicultural teacher education. This volume shows how the author collaborated with community partners and pre-service teachers to jointly construct the service learning supplement to a multicultural education course—from the bottom up. Organized into three parts, this much-needed text: Proposes theoretical, conceptual, and philosophical frameworks for community service learning in multicultural educationExamines findings from several qualitative research studies in relation to service learning conducted within the author’s multicultural education courseShows an inside view of “what really happens” in actual practice and suggests avenues for further research

"An excellent contribution to the field of community service learning and multicultural education. Given her extensive research work and publication history on this topic, I anticipate that Boyle-Baise's text will become a standard." —Carolyn O'Grady, editor of Integrating Service Learning and Multicultural Education in Colleges and Universities
