Document Summary
In current global context, allegiances to race (as a racial, social, cultural, political, religious identity) are central to diverse range of reasons for global inclusions and exclusions. The range of inclusions and exclusions vis-a -vis race" are informed by global migrations (ex asylum-seekers) to the politics of racial identities within national borders (ex first nations communities" land use agreements) Critical understanding of globalization can be helpful for exploring the centrality of race" within citizenship broadly and its role in critical global citizenship education. The pedagogical opportunity of situating race" within cgce can be strived toward by: (1) moving beyond race" as a fixed identity category / something independent of ethnicity and culture. As diverse peoples interact with greater frequency, new possibilities for conflict and cooperation. Public schooling, a project of the nation-state, contributes to young people"s abilities to negotiate conflict, as well as to cooperate with one another to create a just and peaceful society.
