Religious identity and religious tolerance are pressing issues in a plural society shaped by religious diversity such as Indonesia. The imperative of coexistence in plural societies does not entail the negligence of religious identity. Examining the relationship between religious identity and religious tolerance empirically is of necessity to understand the role of religion in plural societies. This book is the result of the empirical research among the Catholic Student respondents in Secondary Schools in Yogyakarta Indonesia. The empirical findings of this research serve to bear out the conjunctive thesis dealing with the relationship between religious identity and religious tolerance.

A critical resource for pre-service and practicing teachers this book addresses what happens when new teachers try to enact inquiry-based and dialogical pedagogy within standardized schools.

The chapter authors and editor revisit and interpret several of the most important works in the curriculum field of the 1990s.

There is in America an intangible university of sorts invisible self-propagated and silently teaching Black Americans to disrespect and look down on their own racial kinsmen. This mis-educational institution is built on a foundation of demonstrably false ideas long lingering myths and hateful half-truths that have over the years legitimized themselves in our minds and decimated our power to effectively respond to our own problems and do for the world what we did at the dawn of civilization. All Black Americans enroll in the schools that make up this university but lucky for us some enrollees fail to learn their anti-black lessons or master their confidence-killing teachings. I say with more sorrow than pride: I flunked Sambo University.
