"Given the institutionalization of multiculturalism, racialized school violence continues to baffle teachers, parents, and researchers alike. In Multicultural Girlhood, Mary Thomas addresses the question raised by the schoolgirls in her study: 'Why can't we just get along?' Her provocative answer draws attention to the investment that we all have in hierarchies of difference. This book is a must read for anyone concerned about the limitations of current multicultural policies and practices." -Dawn H. Currie, Professor of Sociology, University of British Columbia
