Race, Ethnicity and Education by David Gillborn
A presentation of an important new investigation into the issues of race, ethnicity and education, following the extensive reforms of state education during the late 1980s. The author provides a critical introduction to the current issues and major research findings in the field.`[David Gillborn] skilfully blends objective data, quotations from teachers and pupils and his own observation of the texture of daily life.. No one reading Gillborn's closely-observed and clearly-argued research will face tomorrow's pupil management unchanged.' - The Guardian
` ... offers a sound and up-to-date review of the field which is impressive in its coverage.' - Times Educational Supplement
` ... written and structured (and referenced) in such a way as to stimulate the reader to think reflectively, avoiding exhortation. It ought to stimulate teachers, teacher-trainee, teacher-trainers for some years to come.' - Research Intelligence (BERA Newsletter)
Professor David Gillborn is currently Head of the School of Educational Foundations & Policy Studies (EFPS) and Chair of the Race Equality Committee at the Institute of Education, University of London.
