Summary: Sociopolitical Marxism
Comment: Well now, I know where some of the true Marxist are hiding. In this book, Nieto is trying to create equity policies in schools using taxpayer dollars. If she had her way, she would get rid of capitalism, social classes, and distribution of wealth. Of course, we have already seen how that works in the former Soviet Union (it doesn't work at all). Yes, in a democratic-republic (Nieto always forgets the republic part) there is a dominant culture. Kind of why we call this a nation state, we have national culture. Unfortunately, Nieto is too busy saying the dominant culture is based on White European ideals. In fact, the ideals are based on Judaism, which is not European at all.
There are some aspects of diverse cultures that keep people down trodden in our society, and it is NOT restricted to the dominant cultures. But Nieto makes it sound as though it only happens to dominant cultures.

Summary: Positive indepth look at multicultural education
Comment: Sonia Nieto has captured the essence of multicultural education because she focuses on real students in real classrooms. She helps teachers and teacher education candidates realize that their goals are the education of all the children in their classrooms and that those most different from the background of the teacher are the ones most in need of multicultural approaches. The goal is student learning, as she points out in her next book, The Light in Their Eyes, Creating Multicultural Learning Communities. I highly recommend this book to any teacher who works with children who speak other first languages than English.
