As our societies become progressively more diverse, the quality of relationships amongst different groups and cultures becomes increasingly important. Unfortunately, the close interdependence fostered by our societies also provides a fertile ground for the emergence of stereotypes, prejudices, and racist and discriminatory attitudes built over generations through collective imaginaries. These stereotypes hinder the resolution of structural inequalities, which in turn negatively affect ethnic minorities in our countries, and reproduce social asymmetries based on cultural diversity.

Special Edition on
Education, Citizenship, and Interculturalism
An authentic democracy - an aspiration for all of
our societies - cannot coexist with racism, since democracy itself implies
respect for those who are different, as well as the promotion of
intercultural coexistence. The visibility of different cultures, and the
possibility of making their voices, proposals, and expectations audible and
visible, are indispensible for the vitality of a democracy founded on
pluralism. The role played by education in this matter is undeniable.
Given the importance of this topic, we will devote an issue of the
Interamerican Journal of Education for Democracy to exploring it. We invite
you to submit papers that discuss the subject of education, citizenship,
and interculturalism, both in terms of concrete, current realities, as well
as desirable futures. Papers can be submitted in one of two categories;
critical or review essay (2500 to 3500 words) or research article (7000 to
10000 words). Papers should be submitted following the guidelines found in
the section "Publish on IJED" on our website www.ried-ijed.org .
The
Interamerican Journal of Education for Democracy is a biannual, bilingual,
on-line, academic publication. Our main objective is to foster intellectual
discussion and exchange about efforts to promote education for democratic
citizenship across the Americas. The Journal is affiliated with the
Inter-American Program on Education for Democratic Values and Practices, of
the Organization of American States (OAS).
We encourage you to
consult our Website and our first two issues at www.ried-ijed.org.
Deadline: 2008/09/15
