“I spend considerable time with the cases in Bridging Multiple Worlds. I appreciate the time the authors dedicate to explaining the importance of using cases [for education].” —Michaela Colombo, University of Massachusetts–Lowell
“[Taylor and Whittaker] have done a thorough job of addressing all the definitions of multicultural education and the multitude of theories around it.” —Dr. Joy Wiggins, University of Texas–Arlington
