Amanda E. Lewis spent a year observing classes at three elementary schools, two multiracial urban and one white suburban. While race of course is not officially taught like multiplication and punctuation, she finds that it nonetheless insinuates itself into everyday life in schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLewis explains how the curriculum, both expressed and hidden, conveys many racial lessons. While teachers and other school community members verbally deny the salience of race, she illustrates how it does influence the way they understand the world, interact with each other, and teach children. This eye-opening text is important reading for educators, parents, and scholars alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eList of Figures and Tables\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ONE Examining  the Color Line in Schools\u003cbr\u003e TWOThere is No Race in the Schoolyard: Color-Blind Ideology at Foresthills\u003cbr\u003e THREE Struggling with Dangerous Subjects: Race at West City Elementary\u003cbr\u003e FOUR Breaking the Silence: Race, Culture, Language, and Power at Metro2\u003cbr\u003e FIVE Learning and Living Racial Boundaries: Constructing and Negotiating Racial Identity in School\u003cbr\u003e SIXSchooling and the Social Reproduction of Racial Inequality\u003cbr\u003e SEVEN Schools as Race-Making Institutions\u003cbr\u003e APPENDIX Research Methods: Stories from the Field\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559283749144,"sku":"9780813532257","price":23.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/race-in-the-schoolyard-negotiating-the-color-line-in-classrooms-and-communities-paperback-softback-9780813532257","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
