Doing Diversity Differently in a Culturally Complex World explores the challenges facing multicultural education in the 21st century. The starting point is that the ideas fashioned in 1970s 'multiculturalism' are no longer adequate for the culturally complex world in which we now live.

Megan Watkins and Greg Noble begin by exploring the understandings of multiculturalism that exist amongst teachers, parents and students. They demonstrate that ideas around identity and culture don't match the complexities of the social contexts of schooling in migrant-based nations such as Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada and New Zealand.Doing Diversity Differently in
