This book describes how a group of educators, social activists, and scholars tried to reduce intergroup tensions and create schools where people of all groups could learn together and from each other. Demonstrating the links between the current multicultural education movement and the roots of intergroup education, Banks helps us to understand where we've been, where we are, and where we might strive to be in our future attempts to understand and teach diversity.
