SHARED DIFFERENCES

MULTICULTURAL MEDIA AND PRACTICAL PEDAGOGY

Edited by Diane Carson and Lester Friedman

University of Illinois Press, 1995

This timely volume addresses those who teach and study multicultural
        topics. Rather than offering a Band-Aid approach to curricular offerings,
        the contributors demonstrate inclusive, innovative ways to integrate multicultural
        issues and media into existing courses.
      In "Struggling for America's Soul: A Search for Some Common Ground
        in the Multicultural Debate," Lester Friedman leads off the volume
        with an analysis of the value and necessity of multicultural approaches
        for today's students and for society at large. The essays that follow
        provide a wealth of material for organizing courses, including week-by-week
        syllabi detailing specific writing assignments, bibliographical information
        on readings, and sources for films and videos. The contributors, who teach
        at institutions ranging from community colleges through major research
        universities, describe their experiences teaching students of various
        ages, backgrounds, and interests.
      Shared Differences will be of value to all who use media as a
        tool in their teaching, whether in history, literature, or the social
        sciences, as well as to those who teach film and video production.

Selected Writings on Race and Difference

Stuart Hall

Duke University Press, 2021

In Selected Writings on Race and Difference, editors Paul Gilroy and Ruth Wilson Gilmore gather more than twenty essays by Stuart Hall that highlight his extensive and groundbreaking engagement with race, representation, identity, difference, and diaspora. Spanning the whole of his career, this collection includes classic theoretical essays such as “The Whites of Their Eyes” (1981) and “Race, the Floating Signifier” (1997). It also features public lectures, political articles, and popular pieces that circulated in periodicals and newspapers, which demonstrate the breadth and depth of Hall's contribution to public discourses of race. Foregrounding how and why the analysis of race and difference should be concrete and not merely descriptive, this collection gives organizers and students of social theory ways to approach the interconnections of race with culture and consciousness, state and society, policing and freedom.

Space and Pluralism

Can Contemporary Cities Be Places of Tolerance?

Stefano Moroni

Central European University Press, 2016

This book addresses the social, functional and symbolic dimensions of urban space in today's world. The twelve essays are grouped in three parts, ranging from a conceptual framework to case descriptions rich with illustrations. They provide a valuable service in exploring the nature and significance of social space and particular aspects of its contemporary distribution and contestation. The book addresses a topic that is intrinsically interdisciplinary. Questions of space are examined from a rich variety of disciplinary perspectives in a welcome range from urban planning to political philosophy, shedding a good deal of light in the process. The issues in focus include the dichotomies of public and private space, discussion of rights and duties with regard to the use of space, or conflicts over its allocation. Well reasoned and presented discussion is offered from the perspective of basic values and rights. The policy issue of institutional recognition of the specifics of (minority community) identity is raised in opposition to abstract distributive accounts of justice.

Strength through Diversity

Harlem Prep and the Rise of Multiculturalism

Barry M. Goldenberg

Rutgers University Press, 2025

For nearly seven years, from 1967 to 1974, many hundreds of bright, college-going youth—most of whom had previously been labeled as high school “dropouts”—would proudly celebrate their graduation from Harlem Prep, a small educational experiment that grew to become a nationally renowned, cherished community institution in the iconic Black neighborhood of Harlem. Operating in a repurposed supermarket that used blackboards as classroom dividers, the school’s unique multicultural philosophy inspired all who stepped foot inside. This philosophy, exemplified by the school’s motto of “unity through diversity,” shaped the school’s ethos, fostered student achievement, and, most of all, made Harlem Prep distinct from any other educational institution, past or present. In Strength through Diversity, Barry M. Goldenberg shares the history of this one-of-a-kind multicultural institution from its rise to its apex and decline, revealing the collective stories of hope, struggle, and love from administrators, teachers, community members, and students. Using history as a blueprint, Goldenberg illustrates the untapped potential of multicultural education in the ongoing quest for educational equity.
