is please to announce the release of a new book:

**Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education**
Edited by Susan Cahan and Zoya Kocur

A comprehensive approach to multicultural arts education in one
fully illustrated volume

Absent from the teaching of multicultural art education today is
an approach that connects everyday experience, social critique,
and creative expression with classroom learning.  CONTEMPORARY ART
AND MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION fills this void.  Not just another
multicultural text, it is designed to help students learn in
original ways by focusing on topics they care about and that
resonate with real life.

In clear and accessible language this new volume provides both
theoretical foundations and practical resources for educators and
students everywhere:
*    Notable educators' perspectives on affirming diversity, the
dynamics of media education, the relationship between contemporary
art and youth culture, and how to enhance ESL teaching.

*    Comprehensive lesson plans for helping educators use art to
explore cultural subjects such as American identity, changing
definitions of the family, AIDS and its representation,
discrimination, racism, homophobia and the language of mass media,
and the roles of public art in society.

*    50 color and 40 black and white reproductions as well as
personal statements in English and Spanish from over 50
contemporary artists including Guillermo GGirls, David Hammons, Keith
Haring, Maya Lin, Faith Ringgold,
Andres Serrano, and David Wojnarowicz.

*    Hard to find resources including annotated bibliographies for
further study and lists of arts and media organizations
nationwide.

*    Contributors include: Amalia Mesa-Bains, artist, curator and
educator; Steven Goodman, founding director of Educational Video
Center; Adelaide Sanford, educator and Member-At-Large, New York
State Board of Regents; Christine Sleeter, professor at California
State University, Monterey Bay.

CONTEMPORARY ART AND MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION is a first of its
kind textbook to use contemporary art as a centerpiece for an
authentic multicultural and democratically-based curriculum.

Co-published with Routledge
Press
Edited by Susan Cahan, deputy director of The New Museum of
Contemporary Art in New York City and Zoya Kocur, former associate
curator of Education at The New Museum and now an education and
managerial consultant.
