Intended as a contribution to, and challenge of, existing frameworks for multicultural education, the research demonstrates the importance of in and out of school learning, and how the various sites of learning resonate differently for particular groups of young people. It demonstrates the key role schools can play for different youth in building, or augmenting, a consistent, common knowledge base.  \nRésumé  \nNous faisons le rapport d'une enquête nationale (942 élèves du secondaire, 10 conseilsscolaires, 5 provinces) qui mesure la connaissance des jeunes, de l'histoire et de l'héritage intellectuel, politique et culturelle des peuples racialisés, mondialement et nationalement, etoù ils l'ont appris (l'école, les médias, la famille, la communauté) . Conçue comme une contribution et un défi aux cadres existants pour l'éducation multiculturelle, l'étude démontre l'importance de l'apprentissage scolaire et extra-scolaire, et comment les différents terrains d''apprentissage résonnent différemment pour des groupes particuliers de jeunes. Elle démontre le rôle clé que l'école peut jouer pour les jeunes en devenir, ou augmenter une base cohérente de connaissances communes.  \nCANADIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION 34, 2 (2011): 219-238 ©2011 Canadian Society for the Study of Education/ Société canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation  \nBeyond Intellectual Insularity: Multicultural Literacy as a Measure of Respect  \nIntroduction  \nAs the official multiculturalism policy in Canada approaches its 40th anniversary, we find ourselves at an opportune moment to re-examine the shifting premises, promises, and processes of multicultural education. We begin with the premise that while official multiculturalism policy may be in crisis in a post-9/11 securitized world and a national arena increasingly dominated by a neoliberal, assimilationist discourse of “social cohesion”(Armstrong & Joshee, 2009),“multiculturalism from below” flourishes in (mainly) urban spaces of lived relations (Bannerji, 2000; Walcott, 2003, 2010), and critical multicultural education continues to hold unrealized potential. In signaling this fraught and variegated political context, we distinguish between different formations of multicultural education. Hegemonic liberal multicultural education has been rigorously critiqued by antiracism and critical race theory for its depoliticized, reductive celebration of difference that ignores racial inequity while normalizing a white1 Canadian “core.” We locate ourselves within the polysemic and internally contentious formation that critical multiculturalism has become, acting as an institutional placeholder for a broad range of equity-seeking, social justiceoriented pedagogies of social difference (see, for example, Brathwaite & James, 1996; Dei & Kempf, 2006; Joshee & Johnson, 2007; Kanu, 2006; Ladson-Billings & Gilborn, 2005; Mahalingam & McCarthy, 2000; May, 1999; Pinar, 2004) .  \nThis artic","cbCaipxnFQPwdx0H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipxnFQPwdx0H","pdf",119669,20,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Policy context and theoretical framing\n## National survey design and purpose\n## Findings focus and analytical approach","[{\"question\":\"What does the national survey measure in this study?\",\"answer\":\"It measures what young people know about the histories and intellectual, political, and cultural legacies of racialized peoples and where they learned it.\"},{\"question\":\"Which sources of learning are examined?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines learning from school, media, family, and community (including in- and out-of-school spheres).\"},{\"question\":\"What role do schools play according to the research?\",\"answer\":\"Schools are identified as having a key role in building or augmenting a consistent, common knowledge base for different youth groups.\"}]","Beyond Intellectual Insularity: Multicultural Literacy as a Measure of Respect | PDF",1792085119,50,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,117,121,126,129,133,136,140],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":120},6,"Technology","technology",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":85,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},30,"research-report",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":91,"slug":132},9,"Religion & Spirituality","religion-spirituality",{"id":91,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":91,"slug":135},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":137,"slug":139},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":141,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":142,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":143},19,"General","general"]
