Inequality, Power and School Success: Case Studies on Racial Disparity and Opportunity in Education

This volume highlights issues of power, inequality and resistance for African American and Latino/a students in distinct US and international contexts. Through a collection of case studies it links universal issues relating to inequality in education, such as Latino and African American males in the inner-city neighborhoods, Latina teachers and single mothers in California, undocumented youth from Mexico and El Salvador, immigrant Latino youth in Spain, and immigrant Afro-Caribbean and Indian teenagers in New York and in London. The volume explores the processes which keep students thriving academically and socially, and outlines the patterns which exist among individuals—students, teachers, parents—to resist the hegemony of the dominant class and school failure. With emphasis on racial formation theory, this volume fundamentally argues that education, despite inequality, remains the best hope of achieving the American dream.
