Abstract
Chapter 5 builds on the experiential learning inherent in navigating differences in group practice to look more closely at multiculturalism. No doubt you hope to work respectfully, ethically, and effectively on behalf of classmates and community constituents,but to realize these goals you must look at underlying issues (power, privilege, discrimination, stereotypes,intercultural communication, cultural competence,and others) that affect the life of a community. In this chapter, we examine how to incorporate multiple voices to offer a chorus of viewpoints on community and discuss the politics of difference and the implications for community engagement.
