Diversity stemming from immigration : relations with the minority other. 330 $aAre fragile majorities capable of opening themselves to deep-rooted and new ethnic and cultural pluralism? What role does education play in this process? Based on ten years of comparative research, Fragile Majorities and Education is a nuanced study of ethnic dominance, linguistic integration of immigrants, and diversity in education. Ethnic relations are often depicted in an oversimplified framework where a clear dominant majority exercises power over various minorities. In many societies worldwide, however, this model does not hold true. In some countries, two or more groups possess relatively equal power to control the state and impose their definitions of the nation, as is the case with Flemish speakers and French speakers in Belgium, and with Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. In other instances, such as in Quebec or Catalonia, clearly identifiable majorities are nonetheless minorities at a larger nation-state level, which creates a situation of ambiguous ethnic dominance. Marie McAndrew analyzes and clarifies these complex situations through the lens of education as a means for both maintaining and transforming ethnic boundaries and identities. Deeply insightful and meticulously researched, Fragile Majorities and Education is a groundbreaking contribution to the field of ethnic studies. 606 $aMinorities$xEducation 606 $aLinguistic minorities$xEducation 606 $aEthnic groups$xEducation 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aHistory$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects 606 $aComparative education 615 0$aMinorities$xEducation. 615 0$aLinguistic minorities$xEducation. 615 0$aEthnic groups$xEducation. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 0$aHistory$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aComparative education. 676 $a370.117 700 $aMcAndrew$b Marie$0927182 701 $aO'Hearn$b Michael$01528554 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779677003321 996 $aFragile majorities and education$93772216 997 $aUNINA
