Dialogues in and around Multicultural Schools

The volume contains a selection of articles selected from the International workshop of IADA in Utrecht. Next to some theoretical paper and overview studies of multicultural schools, the majority of the contributions analyses in specific ways the dialogues between students and between students and teachers in multicultural schools. The attention of the analysis centred on various forms of exclusion and discrimination, as effects of unintentional uses of mono-linguistic or mono-cultural attitudes of the teachers.
