    First published in 1992. The books aim to engage with a broad audience, aiming at new ‘laicized’ paradigms of understanding, capable of being shared with a wider international public. This series of books is committed to the premise that racism and all other forms of negative prejudice are detrimental to a harmonious and healthy pluralist world society, and that it is the duty of all good democratic citizens to combat them, but that there are many valid routes by which such prejudice can be challenged, and that there are other kinds of prejudice and abuse which must also be combatted. This is the third volume in a series of four books, dedicated to a re-examination of cultural diversity and its implications for education and schooling.
