Description
There is no doubt that there are many incidents of racism in British schools, and unfortunately, the evidence can be discredited and marginalized by the media or official reports. This book is a committed but carefully argued analysis of the current state of race policy in education. Its discussion of the effects of the Education Reform Act and the delivery of the National Curriculum is a significant contribution to the anti-racist debate. Whatever position is taken in this controversial area, it is clear that every school has an important role to play in a multi-ethnic society and that each teacher needs to counteract racism by developing an informed, personal stance. This introductory text will be of value both to student and practising teachers, students in social science courses and the interested reader. It is particularly suitable for use in classrooms as it includes discussion points and notes on further reading.
