From the Publishers
Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to announce the release of two new books that were sponsored by
the Center for Multicultural Education and published by Jossey Bass, an
imprint of Wiley & Sons.
DIVERSITY AND CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION: GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES, edited by James A.
Banks, was published in August. This book resulted from papers that were
presented at the conference "Ethnic Diversity and Citizenship Education in
Multicultural Nation-States," held at the Rockefeller Foundation's Study and
Conference Center in Bellagio, Italy, in June, 2002. Participants and
contributing authors came from 12 nations: Brazil, Canada, China, Germany,
India, Israel, Palestine, Japan, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom,
and the U.S. The book is a part of a project whose goal is to reform
citizenship education so that it will be responsive to the needs of
cultural, ethnic, and immigrant groups within multicultural nation-states.
The book is available from Jossey-Bass, at www.josseybass.com (ISBN
0-7879-6651-7).
The Second Edition of the HANDBOOK OF RESEARCH ON MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION,
edited by James A. Banks and Cherry A. McGee Banks, was published in
November. The first edition of the HANDBOOK was published in 1995 to provide
the education community with an overview and summary of the theory and
research in the field. The HANDBOOK received a warm reception from scholars
in the U.S. and abroad, receiving the 1997 Multicultural Education Book
Award from the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME).
Twenty-nine chapters from the first edition have been revised and updated,
and 20 new chapters were added to the Second Edition. The HANDBOOK may be
ordered from Jossey-Bass, at www.josseybass.com (ISBN 0-7879-5915-4).
I am deeply grateful to you for serving as a reviewer for a chapter in
DIVERSITY AND CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION: GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES. I hope you will be
as pleased with the book as I am.
Sincerely,
James A. Banks

By Dr. Norrel A. London
A significant turning point in education in developing nations took place as the designated countries acceded to political independence, having
crossed the border from centuries of colonial rule. Education was ascribed "human capital" value, and was considered a vital contribution to the
planning and development process.
In Pathways to Educational Transformation and Development, Dr. London chronicles this transformation in education in one developing nation, Trinidad & Tobago. Strategies adopted, as well as some triumphs and
failures, are highlighted, but the lessons that the episodes impart to the educational development planner are the most enduring features of the book. Pathways is a significant contribution to the international thrust of
education development in the aftermath of decolonization.
