Changing Hearts, Changing Minds: Encouraging Student Teachers to Use Multicultural Literature.

Margerison, Patricia S.

English Education, v27 n4 p258-67 Dec 1995

Investigates the problem of why preservice teachers are disinclined to teach noncanonical multicultural literature. Gives particular consideration to the need to help teachers develop strong rationales for teaching ethnically diverse literature that will sustain them through the resistances they will inevitably encounter to a multicultural agenda.
