Multiculturalism is a term that has been
much used in educational texts in recent years. Its usage is
frequently taken for granted in the rhetoric of curriculum literature.
However, it has recently become clear that there are significant
variations of interpretations of multiculturalism in different world
regions. This book takes a new and deeper look at the notion of
multiculturalism through the lens of art education. In educational
terms art is a unique tool for the investigation of cultural values
because it transcends the barrier of language and provides visceral
and tacit insights into cultural change.
In order to address the educational
interpretations and methods of implementing multiculturalism in
different regios of the world, this book contains discussion and
analysis of perspectives on art education theory and practice from
thirteen countries. The authors of each chapter are respected
multicultural experts in their geographic locations who are well
equipped to provide unique insights into the particular issues of
multiculturalism viewed from the perspective of art in educational
contexts.
The book as a whole provides tools
for the conceptual analysis of contemporary notions linked with
multiculturalism, such as interculturalism, internationalism and
globalisation. It also provides strategies for art teaching in
relation to these ideas. While the term 'multicultural education' is
problematic, this book presents conceptual frameworks that should
assist educators to examine their own teaching on issues of equity and
diversity that are central to the multicultural education debate.
