Book

Equality and ethnic identities : studies of self-concept, child abuse and education in a changing English culture

Sawyerr, Alice Akoshia Ayikaaley, author, Bagley, Christopher Adam, author

Overview

This book combines history, sociology, psychology and educational policy in research on a 40-year, crucial phase of development of ethnic identity, ethnic relations and educational and social policies for children in England, from pre-school to secondary school. The authors show how nursery children of different ethnicities interact in beginning their identity journeys in a culture of both inequality, and evolving ethnic relationships and patterns of harmony, in Britain's developing multicultural society. In looking at self-concept development in secondary school children through the lens of various kinds of child maltreatment, Alice Sawyerr and Christopher Bagley argue that ethnic minority children are psychological survivors, and African-Caribbean girls especially are making strong identity steps - it is the \"poor whites\" who will make up the precariat, the reserve army of labour, who are left behind in structures of inequality.-- Back cover.
