"Volume three of the History of Multicultural Education is extremely important, relevant, and can be utilized by many. Furthermore, with guidance from the teacher educator, the selected articles can be used to help pre-service teachers develop the necessary skills and dispositions for working with the highly diverse student population that they will likely encounter."--Teachers College Record, December 2009
