This book bridges the discourse on globalization and education with international studies on race, class, gender, ethnicity, culture, and multiculturalism, synthesizing macrosociology with educational research, which provides readers with the background, core knowledge, and global focus that is needed to understand international issues, as well as deal with diversity in the classroom.
