Race, School Culture, and the Politics of Academic Success

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This critical case study exposes the educational realities of Latinos in K-12 public schools in the Western United States from the students' own perspectives. Issues that are often over simplified and commonly misunderstood are brought to life. Their accounts are then compared with the viewpoints of a range of K-12 teachers on matters of community, learning, race, culture, and school politics.
