Race & Curriculum Cl

This volume aims to put into a broader, theoretical and political perspective, the issues of racial inequality and minority under-achievement which faces educators in schools and universities across the United States. After presenting an overview of mainstream and radical accounts and programmatic "solutions" to racial inequality in education, McCarthy offers an alternative approach. This approach stresses the importance of understanding the social context and nuances in the dynamics of race relations in order to help formulate policies and strategies of reform in race relations in American schools.
