Abstract
D.Ed.
The question which this study endeavours to address, is whether learning about the cultural and ethnic perspectives of other racial and ethnic groups would help learners to know more about and appreciate ethnic and cultural diversity. Furthermore, this study will explore whether relations amongst learners can be improved through looking critically at extractions of cultural and ethnic experiences of racial and ethnic groups in literary texts.
In the spirit of goodwill and reconciliation that the South African leaders call upon, the question may be asked, what are the educational authorities doing towards promoting better inter-group relations?
