Race Among Friends

Exploring Race at a Suburban School

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Race among Friends focuses on a “racially friendly” suburban charter school called Excellence Academy, highlighting the ways that students and teachers think about race and act out racial identity. Marianne Modica finds that even in an environment where students of all racial backgrounds work and play together harmoniously, race affects the daily experiences of students and teachers in profound but unexamined ways.
