Critical Multiculturalism and Intersectionality in a Complex World

Autor Lacey Sloan, Mildred Joyner, Catherine Stakeman, Cathryne Schmitz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 sep 2018
Critical Multiculturalism and Intersectionality in a Complex World guides the reader through a process of critical self-reflection that allows for examination of social identities, biases, and experiences of oppression and privilege. Its exploration of the history, sources, mechanisms, structures, and current manifestations of oppression -- complimented by case examples (with new stories from across the globe) and guiding questions -- provides a framework for improving the ability to recognize, confront, and dismantle oppressions. Deeper cultural patterns, implicit biases, and internalized negative perceptions are examined, enabling readers to explore cultures that have different patterns, values, and behaviors while challenging their own biases about 'other' cultures. In addition to a focus on the USA, this edition features added content on Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Canada, South Africa, Australia, India, and Kenya. This new edition will appeal to all graduate and undergraduate students of the social sciences, human sciences, and humanities.

Recenzii

Critical Multiculturalism and Intersectionality in a Complex World offers a multidimensional approach to examining inequalities in the world and offers practical examples to elucidate experience. The varied frameworks on identity formation and development offer practical ways to facilitate critical self- awareness. Employing intersectionality in understanding power and positionality centers critical consciousness to the workings of processes of domination and subjugation and, therefore, the differential experiences. The book moves the discourse on the concepts, diversity, multiculturalism, and inequalities from narrow, over-simplified versions to working complex discussions that take into account the global, social, political, and cultural experiences of power." -Otrude N. Moyo, PhD, MA, MSW, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Social Work, University of Michigan-Flint
This newest edition of Critical Multiculturalism and Intersectionality in a Complex World provides readers with a powerful blueprint for how to think carefully, holistically, creatively, and honestly about the issues that matter most. Teaching with this well-written book makes some of the classroom's most difficult conversations easier to navigate with confidence and clarity." -John L. Jackson, Jr., PhD, Dean, School of Social Policy & Practice, University of Pennsylvania; Co-author, Impolite Conversations: On Race, Politics, Sex, Money, and Religion
This masterpiece of collective thought will be an invaluable teaching resource. It is transformative, global, comprehensive, and provides a critical multicultural perspective. While engaging the reader in a personal reflective process, it provides essential knowledge and skills for contemporary social work practice focused on justice, equality, and inclusion." -Saundra H. Starks, EdD, LCSW, Professor of Social Work, Western Kentucky University
