— Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Emily Hargroves Fisher Professor of Education, Harvard University"'I am large, I contain multitudes,' boasted Walt Whitman in his celebration of the American voice and spirit, 'Song of Myself.' His claim applies equally well to the second edition of theHandbook of Research on Multicultural Education, ably edited by James A. Banks and Cherry A. McGee Banks. Newly revised and expanded, this volume indeed contains a multitude of voices and perspectives, providing an invaluable resource for all those interested in issues of equity and the role of education in a pluralistic democracy."
