Abstract
In the UK in the 1970s the term ‘multiracial education’ was used, and there was a thriving National Association for Multiracial Education. It gradually became apparent that there were two key positions embraced within this group. One faction was primarily interested in
antiracism (seen fundamentally as addressing the issue of imbalance and misuse of power) and the other in what became known as ‘multiculturalism’. In the 1980s, multicultural education (or multicultural approaches to particular curriculum subjects), associated with a
‘liberal education’ philosophy, came under strong attack from some in the ‘antiracist’ camp (eg Mullard 1984). The following is a summary of some of the key criticisms of multicultural education from the standpoint of the type of antiracism noted above.
