Multicultural Education in an Age of Globalization: Compelling Issues for Engagement, starts out with a discussion of western colonization of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the residual effects of colonialism in the forms of colonial mindset of power, dominance, and white racial superiority that have continued to challenge the hopes of a peaceful and more harmonious exchange and interaction in the 21st century global communities. Issues such as white privilege and cultural humility are discussed in-depth. Subsequently, the idea of globalization and the concept of global citizenship are also addressed in light of their implications for multicultural education curriculum and practice in the 21st century classrooms. The book identifies and discusses compelling issues that must be carefully addressed as we undertake multicultural education in the 21st century educational setting: whether in the K-`12 or higher education setting. Such issues include Affirmative Action, Gender Equity issues, Religion in the public school setting, and the problem of Poverty in the 21st century societies.

Multicultural Education in an Age of Globalization: Compelling Issues for Engagement is a well-timed book. In the United States, high profile political leaders are fanning the flames of intolerance and fear among the citizenry. Courts are refusing to hear cases of racial discrimination, businesses are overlooking employees of color for promotion and salary increases, and public schools are talking about equity and quality education; however, fewer and fewer resources are being allocated for that purpose. Global challenges are even more significant, with increasing poverty, health disparities, religious intolerance, gender inequity, and women empowerment impediments. I congratulate Dr. DomNwachukwu on his artful ability to piece together a historical overview of colonialism and its legacy with current issues of globalization, gender, religion, and economic challenges facing educators and families in the twenty-first century. Multicultural Education in an Age of Globalization: Compelling Issues for Engagement gives a sobering account of the challenges of diversity and multiculturalism an age of globalization.
