For example, these changes reflect demographic shifts in power and paradigm in the United States, rather than assume that our problems are insurmountable, multiculturalism still matters in education and society: responding to changing times urges us to collaborate, consult, and cooperate for our common good. This book also rightly emphasizes that multiculturalism will always matter in whatever we do in our complex world. In addition, it challenges us to continue to see differences as strengths that must be valued in dealing with our students, educational professionals, leaders, and communities.
