Turning the Page: The Ultimate Guide for Teachers to Multicultural Literature

Rachel Slaughter's book responds to a shortage of multicultural literature in classrooms, a gap that matters more as ethnic minority children are set to become the majority in US public school classrooms by mid-century. It explains why such books matter for racial awareness and for bridging cultural gaps between students.

Teachers get practical tools: a peer-reviewed metric for swapping biased books for multicultural titles that carry the same themes, reviews, lesson plans and curated book lists. The book also sets out a stepwise plan for forming a task force of school stakeholders to build a wider multicultural programme.

Teachers, school leaders and curriculum designers will find it most useful, particularly alongside the 2018 standards issued by the National Association for Multicultural Education.
