Description
Multicultural education is widely accepted in schools in the United States (Banks, 1993; Sleeter & Grant, 1999). Though there are various philosophical debates within the field of multicultural education (Banks, 1993; Sleeter & Grant, 1999; Rothenberg, 2000), scholars all seem to agree that one of the key tools of multiculturalists is literature. As a result, the importance of the use of multicultural literature has been acknowledged by many researchers, teachers, and critics (see, for example, Bishop, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1998; Harris, 1996; Rogers & Soter, 1997). The literature reveals that over the last few decades, a large number of teachers have embraced multicultural literature and committed to its inclusion in their classrooms (Rogers & Soter, 1997; Fang, Fu, & Lamme, 1999). However, there is some disagreement and/or confusion concerning the definition of multicultural literature (e.g., Cai & Bishop, 1994; Harris, 1996; Shannon, 1994; Schwartz, 1995).
