Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A savvy ethnographer, Staiger reveals the social contours of an urban high school with no racial majority. Here black, white, Latino, and Asian adolescents aggressively use race and gender as tools to define identities and groups across multiple school spaces. Viewed by outsiders as harmonious, thi…s school seethes with strong divisions and alliances among racial groups jockeying for position in a familiar white-to-black hierarchy. Concealed behind color-blind talk, society's racial stratification system replicates itself in an internal segregation of 'gifted' and 'at risk' students. If schools are testing grounds for social justice and equality, this one is more failure than success.'--Joe R. Feagin, Texas A & M University'American schools are a battleground of diverse issues--busing, unequal access to resources, multicultural education and bilingual classes, gangs, and declining property values. Underlying all of these is the issue of race. Thank goodness for Annegret Staiger, who is not afraid to shine a bright light on the social conflicts our children navigate every day. Learning Difference digs deep into the lives of high school students of different backgrounds to explore how they live together and apart, managing friendship and animosity, challenged by well-meaning but misguided school policies. This book should be required reading in every teacher-training degree, and placed on the desk of every principal.'--Kevin Bales, President, Free the Slaves.
