Multiculturalism Rocks is a primarily a blog about multiculturalism in children’s books; however, the blog does sometime venture into discussing other forms of media. The blog is written by Nathalie Mvondo, who is also a contributing writer for the Multicultural Review. This blog presents readers with book reviews for books that feature minority characters. There are also extensive author interviews and numerous links to other websites of interest. One aspect of this blog that I particularly like is that the author brings up current controversies about books and other media. One recent post discusses how movies tend to cast white characters in roles that should be for minority actors. This blog is a great resource for anyone interested in multicultural issues, and this would be a great website for a librarian to look at when s/he is considering how to diversify the library’s collection.
