ABSTRACT

What I have attempted to survey, in the following pages, are elements of the discourse of multiculturalism. The links between these elements are neither obvious, nor part of a logical progression although each element does, to some extent, assume its relationship to its next stage, unproblematically, in its implied reader. From the generalities of National social policy addressing local policy, from educational theories addressing curricula change in schools to teachers, classes and sets of texts. The universalised application of aims that ultimately have the classroom at their core.
