It should be required reading in many political science courses and in multicultural education courses as well." --Choice Magazine "This widely informative and well-written book . . . should be read by all educators around the world who are concerned to create just and inclusive multicultural societies." --Race Equality Teaching "It is a commendable work in that its contributors profoundly enhance our understanding of the broad spectrum of practices in citizenship education in a variety of social, political, and cultural contexts. It illustrates brilliantly how powerful global and domestic non-state actors and institutions impinge upon the education policies of sovereign nation-states." --Teachers College Record "[The contributors'] insights and perspectives provide a rich resource for students and professors of comparative education . . . drawing attention to pressing issues facing educators, researchers, and planners." --Comparative Education Review "A timely contribution . . . thought provoking articles . . .
