摘　　要：多元文化主义是20世纪60年代美国"民权运动"的产物,多元文化教育是多元文化主义在教育领域的体现。多元文化主义使美国社会各方面开始反思主流盎格鲁—撒克逊新教文化客观上对少数族群造成的歧视与伤害,在教育政策与实践中进行了一系列调整,这促进了社会的进步、平等与宽容,但也深刻地冲击了美国社会,形成了对美国国民性的重大挑战,从而引起了一些美国公众对多元文化教育的责难与批评,并在政治上也出现了相应的连锁反应,多元文化教育处于发展的困境之中。我们必须清醒认识到,美国多元文化教育是弱势群体的权利诉求行动,是一个理想中的教育路向,它将与"熔炉"主义在相互的碰撞中长期共存。Multiculturalism is the product of American ＂civil rights movement＂ in the 1960s. Multicultural education is reflection of Multiculturalism in the field of education. Multiculturalism made all aspects of American society began to reflect on the discrimination and injuries caused objectively by White Anglo Saxon Protestant, and do a series of adjustments in the education policy and practice, which promoted social progress, equality and tolerance. But it impacted profoundly American society, and formed a major challenge to American identity, thus caused the blame and criticism from some American public on multicultural education, and also led to corresponding chain reaction in the politic, so multicultural education is in the dilemma of its development. It is clear that multicultural education of USA is action of the vulnerable groups demanding rights, and is also an ideal road to education; It will coexist with the ＂melting pot＂ in long--term mutual collision.
