Opis

This book is about race in schools. It is about the day-to-day interaction, conflict and negotiation between teachers and pupils of different ethnic backgrounds. It is about education in an unequal society where many white people believe that the best way to handle ethnic diversity is to ignore it.

Recenzje

`[David Gillborn] skilfully blends objective data, quotations from teachers and pupils and his own observation of the texture of daily life ... No one reading Gillborn's closely-observed and clearly-argued research will face tomorrow's pupil management unchanged.' - The Guardian

` ... offers a sound and up-to-date review of the field which is impressive in its coverage.' - Times Educational Supplement

` ... written and structured (and referenced) in such a way as to stimulate the reader to think reflectively, avoiding exhortation. It ought to stimulate teachers, teacher-trainee, teacher-trainers for some years to come.' - Research Intelligence (BERA Newsletter)
