The Education of Minorities in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East - Paperback

by Cynthia Szymanski Sunal (Editor), Oluseyi Matthew Odebiyi (Editor), Kagendo Mutua (Editor)

Educators have focused on creating and adapting curriculum content and pedagogy to reflect the diverse backgrounds of their minority students. Parallel to public school curricula, some minority groups have created and introduced curricula and pedagogy to maintain, honor, and develop their group's identity. The scope of these efforts is large and covers different levels of education from early childhood to university. It also covers a wide range of social forms such as ethnicity, class, gender, and ability/ disability. Because these efforts involve possibilities and challenges, discourses on the education of minorities are complex. Mainstream reports may be far removed from how minorities actually experience the educational contexts in African, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.

In this book, The Education of Minorities in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East; educational researchers document, describe, and/or raise critical issues and questions on efforts intended to make relevant and appropriate public education available to minorities in the regions.
