How To Get Along With Others: Children Exploring Issues of Racial-Ethnic Identity in Multicultural and Multiethnic Communities through Drama

Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the use of drama as an interdisciplinary methodology to understand the construction of a positive racial-ethnic identity in response to the criticisms and concerns of Multiculturalism as a practice. It draws on a recent study where the focus was on the stories of children who represented a hegemonic white population in one primary classroom in New Zealand.
