Zusatztext "Once again James A. Banks brings clarity and coherence to the ongoing debate of who is a citizen. In an era of rapid migration and increasing nationalist sentiments, the idea of the citizen is more important than ever. Banks brings together powerful scholarship and insightful analysis in a timely and significant volume."Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Distinguished Professor of Urban Education Emerita, University of Wisconsin, Madison "James A. Banks has unquestionably been a transformative leader, scholar, and practitioner on how to create global democracies for a changing nation and world. This comprehensive compilation of his publications represents the breadth and depth of Banks' work, which will influence our understanding of democracy, diversity, knowledge construction, and civic education for decades to come." Tyrone C. Howard, Pritzker Family Endowed Chair in Education to Strengthen Children & Families, University of California, Los Angeles"In this engaging and informative collection of essays, James Banks describes how his personal biography of growing up in the segregated South has influenced his perspectives on the American saga and civic education. This timely book illuminates the importance of the current quests by marginalized groups around the world for full citizenship and sheds light on the heated and divisive debates that are taking place about citizenship and civic education."Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, President, Learning Policy Institute "Spanning several decades and various disciplines, the powerful research and writings of James Banks' long and illustrious career have helped define the fields of multicultural education, knowledge construction, and civic education in the United States and beyond. Reading this collection is like a history lesson of diversity and transformative education in the 20th and 21st centuries."Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst "This book is a remarkable journey through a half-century of transformative ideas in the field of multicultural education, citizenship, and identity by its most pivotal figure. It lays out the demand of an intellectual tradition that education ensure it provides the conditions for a pedagogy that is transformative so that every student from any country can become a culturally grounded and fully engaged citizen."Gerard A. Postiglione, Chair Professor in Sociology and Educational Policy, The University of Hong Kong"Diversity, Transformative Knowledge, and Civic Education is urgently needed. At a time when many around the world question the viability of a stable multicultural democracy, James Banks builds a compelling set of arguments to show what is possible and needed. Based on nuanced analyses, he lays meticulous groundwork for the work public schools can do. This book should be in the hands of every social studies educator."Christine E. Sleeter, Professor Emeritus, California State University, Monterey Bay. "During Banks's long tenure at the University of Washington, he forged an extensive network of collaborators that provides testimony to both his academic stature and his generosity of spirit that one often does not find in prominent intellectuals Although the explicit goal of this book is to provide an overview of Banks's thinking on diversity and citizenship education, implicitly it also offers a portrait of the humanity and generosity of this man. As author and editor, he has applied his own prescriptions for inclusion by providing space for other scholars, male and female, of color or not, to participate in the creative act of writing for publication, with the goal of transforming schooling and society." Margaret Smith Crocco, Schools, Volume 17, Number 2"The book is much more needed now than ever before, particularly given the international spread of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement since early-2020.[it...
