It argues that the ideas fashioned in 1970s 'multiculturalism' are no longer adequate for the culturally complex world in which we now live. Much multicultural education celebrates superficial forms of difference and avoids difficult questions around culture in an age of transnational flows and hybrid identities. Megan Watkins and Greg Noble explore the understandings of multiculturalism that exist amongst teachers, parents and students. They demonstrate that ideas around culture and identity don't match the complexities of the social contexts of schooling in migrant-based nations such as Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada and New Zealand. \u003ci\u003eDoing Diversity Differently in a Culturally Complex World \u003c\/i\u003edraws on comprehensive research undertaken in Australian schools. It examines how a diverse range of schools address the challenges that 'superdiversity' poses, considering how the strengths and limitations of each school's approach reflect wider logics of traditional multiculturalism. In contrast, the authors argue for a transformative multiculturalism involving a critically reflexive approach to understanding the processes, relations and identities of the contemporary world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a Foreword by \u003cb\u003eFazal Rivzi\u003c\/b\u003e, Emeritus Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA and Professor of Global Studies in Education, University of Melbourne, Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Watkins,Greg Noble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350013005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350013001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Megan Watkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48438748610815,"sku":"9781350013001","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43dfb102-735c-41f2-9fd2-bad58be867eb.jpg?v=1777173096","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doing-diversity-differently-in-a-megan-watkins-9781350013001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
