Description - The Uses of Culture by Cameron McCarthy
Collates nine of the authors essays which explore the issues of race, educational reform and cultural politics. The book looks at the limitations of the cultural exceptionalism which underwrite current curriculum projects such as Afrocentrism, multiculturalism and Eurocentrism. Drawing upon a variety of literatures as well as popular culture, the author contends that any single ruling identity at the core of a curriculum will be restricting. He offers as a solution a curriculum reform based on the complex, cultural linkages and associations that exist among all human groups, which acknowledge their many sources of knowledge.
