Inequality, Power and School Success (eBook, ePUB)

Case Studies on Racial Disparity and Opportunity in Education
Redaktion: Conchas, Gilberto; Gottfried, Michael

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through a collection of original case studies, this volume highlights issues of power, inequality, and resistance for Asian, African American, and Latino/a students in distinct U.S. and international contexts. It explores the processes that keep students thriving academically and socially, and outlines the patterns that exist among individuals-students, teachers, parents-to resist the hegemony of the dominant class and school failure. With emphasis on racial formation theory, this volume fundamentally argues that education, despite inequality, remains the best hope of achieving the American dream.
