Minari is about a Korean immigrant family in America trying to make a life by farming in rural Arkansas in the 1980s. The context of similar, though not identical, movies about Americans facing insuperable odds to pursue the American Dream is commonplace in today’s cinema. The dream has made stories about successful struggles a fundamental theme in movies and serves to reinforce sentiments that validate the American Experiment.","PeriodicalId":45742,"journal":{"name":"Multicultural Perspectives","volume":"23 1","pages":"188 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44302849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The movies are made by African American moviemakers and are focused on Black protest movements. One Night in Miami and Judas and the Black Messiah present the lives and activities of Black leaders as seen through their personal lives and through their political careers. These leaders were involved in dilemmas of opposition to the American political system and cooperation with that system and were forced to suffer the injustices and humiliations often imposed by Whites. The outcomes of their discussions are shown as well as the fatal consequences for their activism. The focus is on the internal affairs of Black movements and the disappointment with White responses.","PeriodicalId":45742,"journal":{"name":"Multicultural Perspectives","volume":"23 1","pages":"73 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15210960.2021.1915089","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43583071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While reading Sleeter and Zavala’s work, I was reminded of my conflict as a young student who wanted to know more about Black women in history, literature, and science; however, I was unclear where to find materials in school that taught me about women from a similar cultural identity. Often, when such curriculum was introduced during Black History month, the stories and experiences were taught to me with a deficit lens that further minoritized my identity. This book rehumanizes education for students similar to me and suggests that educators honor the epistemic knowledge each student brings to class. The goal of ethnic studies, which is to rehumanize education, problematize Eurocentrism, and build community, can be achieved by participatory research, self-reflection, student intellectualism, and community collaboration. Teachers, teacher educators, students, and activists will benefit from the research provided in the book that characterizes ethnic studies pedagogy and curriculum. The groups mentioned will further benefit from learning to challenge a myopic view that is often presented in U.S. schools. In addition to the abovementioned contributions, researchers, teachers, and activists receive a revitalized call-to-action that is valuable for ethnic studies as scholarship and a movement. U.S. society, by reading Transformative Ethnic Studies in Schools: Curriculum, Pedagogy, and Research by Sleeter and Zavala (2020), should be able to notice that an uncontested dominant cultural lens impedes progression of social and formal education. Moving forward in education, people of color and their communities should benefit from amplification of their cultures and identities, which should be advocated for in ethnic studies in schools. Consuming the research along with student perspectives gives a personal reminder for pursuing ethnic studies as a culturally sustaining way to provide a safe and inspirational learning environment for all students.

Students participating in this program culminate their study of the Civil Rights Movement by boarding a chartered bus and traveling together for eight days through the Deep South. During the eight-day journey, students visit seminal Civil Rights locations and learn about the Civil Rights Movement first-hand. This unique experiential learning opportunity resulted in students gaining valuable knowledge about the Civil Rights Movement, but it also challenged students in ways that they did not anticipate as tensions emerged regarding differences in cultural backgrounds and experiences. Ultimately, these rather unexpected challenges resulted in students learning about themselves and each other.","PeriodicalId":45742,"journal":{"name":"Multicultural Perspectives","volume":"23 1","pages":"95 - 100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15210960.2021.1914625","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42698964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Informed by the ubiquity of commercial presentations, cultural tropes, and caricatures—movies, consumer products, and names—the “presentation” of Native Americans tend to focus on incomplete representations that are cast in the past. This article conceptualizes how teachers can engage anti-colonial perspectives through the practice of curriculum mining and the use of the Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribalCrit) framework in the teaching of contemporary realities of Native Americans. It also traces the presentation of Native peoples in curriculum and the function of traditional narratives. Included in the article is a sample lesson template on contemporary Indigenous issues that is applicable for middle schoolers. A resource section at the end of the article provides supplemental resources that focus on various Indigenous curricula, and news outlets so educators can more adeptly explore contemporary issues via social, historical, and cultural contexts in their pedagogical practice by utilizing the process of curriculum mining and theoretical framework of TribalCrit when exploring how to more critically engage curriculum standards.","PeriodicalId":45742,"journal":{"name":"Multicultural Perspectives","volume":"23 1","pages":"78 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15210960.2021.1914048","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41420791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Threshold concepts are “troublesome knowledge” within a discipline that serve as gateways to expanded modes of thinking about subject matter. Grappling with threshold concepts places learners in a liminal space as they confront new knowledge that connects them to transformative, irreversible, and integrative understandings. In response to a call for expanding pedagogical content knowledge of threshold concepts in teacher education, we propose the use of threshold concepts as a pedagogical tool to structure methods courses in order to facilitate the growth of PSTs’ working racial knowledge. We provide the study of redlining as an exemplar of how to promote the threshold concept of structural racism toward developing PSTs’ antiracist dispositions.","PeriodicalId":45742,"journal":{"name":"Multicultural Perspectives","volume":"23 1","pages":"87 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15210960.2021.1914047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43359737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
