Educational Issues in the Multicultural Society of Germany
Education and Cultural Differences. New Perspectives, Garland Publishing, (1992)Abstract
After pointing out some "basic considerations" according to "the scopes of multiculturalism" in Germany the author analyzes "multiethnicity as a topical issue" which in his eyes consists of four major relationships in Germany: 1) Indigenous minorities, 2) The Ethnic German "Resettlers" (having resettled from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe), 3) people seeking asylum, and 4) migrants. Whereas in contrast to the other mentioned minority groups he mainly focuses on migrants which form part of the "foreign population" he firstly investigates the socioeconomic and political background conditions of migrant workers from an historical point of view. Then he describes the "specific problem areas" according to the education of migrant children and youngsters. Before concluding he also makes some remarks on teachers of migrant workers' children and their training. (DIPF/ ssch).
