Narrative and Experience in Multicultural Education

Narrative and Experience in Multicultural Education explores the untapped potential that narrative and experiential approaches have for understanding multicultural issues in education. The research featured in the book reflects an exciting wave of new social science thinking about human experience. The studies focus on the lives of students, teachers, parents, and communities, and bring forward experiences seldom discussed in the literature. JoAnn Phillion, Ming Fang He and F Michael Connelly are diverse and their inquiries are far ranging in terms of content, ethnic groups studied, geographic locations and other contexts. What distinguishes this book from other work in multicultural education is the emphasis on understanding experience and transforming this understanding into social and educational significance.
