The Intersection of Cultures: Multicultural Education in the United States and the Global Economy

Dr. Joel Springs book the Intersection of Cultures is a good academic resource for the study of multiculturalism in education. The book provides an impressive overview of the impact culture has on every social, economic, educational and interpersonal interaction. His prose is simple, direct, and informative with a style of posing questions that encourages the student to consider multiculturalism in a self-reflective framework. I highly recommend the book as a primer on multiculturalism. The books weakness is also it's strength in that it is short and presents complex concepts in simple terms. The result is that it provides merely a summary of each concept rather than an in-depth exploration. The book is filled with interesting examples of the lives of the diverse cultures living in the United States in an engaging and accessible style.
