Description
This excerpt from the book, Inner-City Schools Multiculturalism and Teacher Education, discusses the marginalization of minority children and how this affects their education. The author, a school teacher, discusses how African American inner-city youth negotiate daily the harmful and marginalizing effects of official school culture.
Focusing on the causes for the continuing marginalization of minority children, this book examines inner-city education, its teaching practices, curricular rationales, perspectives of teachers and students, and the institutions themselves. Review: Yeo's ethnographic study is a refreshing authoritative look by an urban school teacher of how African American inner-city youth negotiate daily the harmful and marginalizing effects of official school culture. -Stepehen Haymes, DePaul University
