Social Science as a Multicultural Canon.
Etzioni, Amitai
Society, v29 n1 p14-18 Nov-Dec 1991
Although the current debate over multicultural education largely involves the disciplines of history and literature, the social sciences hold the key to a multicultural society with a common supraculture. The social sciences are willing and more able than the humanities to confront issues central to pluralism within unity. (SLD)
