Stubborn Roots: Race, Culture, and Inequality in U.S. and South African Schools
Carter, Prudence L. (Associate Professor of Education, Associate Professor of Education, Stanford University)
What are the features of the school environment that make students' of color incorporation greater at some schools than at others? Prudence L. Carter seeks to answer this basic but bedeviling question through a rich comparative analysis of the organizational and group dynamics in eight schools located within four cities in the United States and South Africa - two nations rebounding from centuries of overt practices of racial and social inequality. Stubborn Rootsprovides insight into how school communities can better incorporate previously disadvantaged groups and engender equity by addressing socio-cultural contexts and promoting "cultural flexibility." It also raises important and timely questions about the social, political, and philosophical purposes ofmultiracial schooling that have been greatly ignored by many, and cautions against narrow approaches to education that merely focus on test-scores and resources.
