The appearance of edited volumes on a topic signals the maturation of scholarly reflection upon it within the field of comparative education. Such is the case with "multicultural education." In common usage in the United States, multicultural education generally refers to education about different ethnic groups that comprise the U.S. population. Indeed, the vast majority of the literature produced on the subject consists of curricular units for teaching about African-Americans, Native Americans, Latinos/Chicanos, or various AsianAmerican groups. As dialogue on cultural difference and education has spread to other nations, it has become more sharply focused on complex issues of identity, diversity, and citizenship. Advocates of multicultural education define it as having either two or three key features. James Banks, a leading voice in the field, defines three central concerns addressed by multicultural education: validating the identities of socially oppressed groups; teaching the history of exploitation and resistance to it; and providing empowering education to oppressed groups. Others reduce these features to two: "the 'recognition of diversity' strand [and] the 'social equality' strand." Scholars of multicultural education agree that it is a social movement for educational reform that initially grew out of civil rights movements in the United States, particularly efforts for the complete enfranchisement of African-Americans
