This is a meticulously researched and theoretically well-informed study that illuminates how student demands for multiculturalism in the curriculum become education innovations that may ultimately be incorporated into the normal practices and enduring structures of higher education. Yamane shows well how efforts for broad-scale social change are simultaneously advanced and blunted by organizational and institutional intricacies.
