Summary
This volume presents the work of a 4-year exploration of the study and teaching of multicultural literature, sponsored by the National Center for Research in the Teaching and Learning of Literature at the University of Albany, State University of New York. The study focuses on the issue of teachers and students from one culture reading and responding to works from other cultures. What distinctive characteristics of reading and response exist for students from different cultural groups? How do teachers accomplish the aims of teaching multicultural literature? How should a teacher deal with the cultural differences among readers? These are the central questions of the research reported in this volume
