Sonia Nieto has a passion for children, teacher preparation, and multicultural education. She is not afraid to face the challenges present in today's public school classrooms. In Language, Culture, and Teaching: Critical Perspectives for a New Century, Nieto (2002) chronicles many of her previously published articles and book chapters on how language and culture affect teaching and learning. She examines multicultural instruction as an antiracist forum encompassing all areas of schooling. Taking the concept of diversity education beyond mere recognition of cultural differences and ethnic sensitivity, Nieto focuses on the complicated issues facing educators in diverse classrooms. She addresses the difficult questions that are raised when multiculturalism is closely scrutinized.
