Accommodation Without Assimilation by Margaret A Gibson

Accommodation Without Assimilation by Margaret A Gibson

A holistic portrait which reveals why Sikh high school students, despite language barriers, prejudice, and significant cultural differences, often outperform their majority peers and other United States minority groups.

A real contribution to the field of educational anthropology... Gibson demonstrates what can be learned by focusing on success rather than on failure.

* American Anthropologist *

A very good book on a subject that should be of concern not only to anthropologists, but to educators, parents with school-aged children, indeed anyone who wishes to understand why certain ethnic groups seem to be more successful than others in using the American educational system to achieve upward mobility.

* American Ethnologist *
