An analysis of gifted education and multicultural education journals was performed to identify the number of multicultural education articles in gifted education journals and the number of gifted education articles in multicultural education journals. Journals reviewed were "Multicultural Education", "Multicultural Perspectives," "Urban Education," "Gifted Child Quarterly,," "Journal for the Education of the Gifted," and "Roeper Review" (1995 to 2004). Issues related to multicultural education are discussed in gifted education journals, but issues related to gifted education are largely neglected in multicultural education journals. Implications are that policy makers in the two fields need to discuss ways to infuse issues related to gifted education into the discourse on multicultural education. (Contains 1 table.)
