Author Description

After tracing the development of global education, U. of Alberta scholars present a study of its cultural context based on student interviews and a content analysis of global education Web sites related to anti-racism education, human rights, and cross-cultural issues. Anchan and Halli conclude that the Internet can play a role in reinforcing either a global multicultural identity or existing dominant relations, with implications for teachers and society in general to critically examine the Internet's role in global education. Reflection questions and the interview questionnaires are included. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
