Dedicated to a Better Understanding of Ethnic, Racial & Religious Diversity

Founded in 1992, MultiCultural Review is a quarterly journal of reviews and feature articles on a wide range of diversity issues, including ethnicity, race, language, religion, sexual orientation, and different abilities. MCR now includes the EMIE Bulletin, the official publication of the Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) of the American Library Association.

“Especially helpful to librarians because of its rich, succinct book reviews, MultiCultural Review is perhaps the best available print-based source of information about new ethnic and multicultural literature.”--Library Journal, January 15, 2007

“An excellent reviewing tool designed to showcase and critique multicultural literature by grade level and by genre. This attractive source includes invited articles that usually deal with some aspect of diversity and librarianship. Its strength lies in the signed book reviews. Materials reviewed range from children’s books to works of high fiction and drama for the adult reader. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries as well as teachers of multicultural audiences.”--Magazines for Libraries, 2004.

MultiCultural Review has currently suspended publication, but I am exploring ways of getting it revived. In the meantime, you can find reviews of multicultural and social justice-related children’s books at a new blog to which I contribute regularly, The Pirate Tree, www.thepiratetree.com.
