Book Synopsis Discrimination at School by : W. David Wakefield
Download or read book Discrimination at School written by W. David Wakefield. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated male Latino and African American adolescents' experiences with racial discrimination at school. Participants (N = 85) were recruited from an urban public high school in southern California. Students completed paper and pencil measures assessing their experiences with racial discrimination. Overall, Latino and African American male participants had similar experiences with discrimination at school. Three themes emerged: (a) treatment in the classroom, (b) access/opportunities to college, and (c) interactions with school police. Results were discussed in terms of cultural stereotypes present in U.S. society and young people's awareness of discrimination in society. (Contains 1 table.).

Book Synopsis Growing Up in America by : Richard Flory
Download or read book Growing Up in America written by Richard Flory. This book was released on 2010-04-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People's experiences of racial inequality in adulthood are well documented, but less attention is given to the racial inequalities that children and adolescents face. Growing Up in America provides a rich, first-hand account of the different social worlds that teens of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds experience. In their own words, these American teens describe, conflicts with parents, pressures from other teens, school experiences, and religious beliefs that drive their various understandings of the world. As the book reveals, teens' unequal experiences have a significant impact on their adult lives and their potential for social mobility. Directly confronting the constellation of advantages and disadvantages white, black, Hispanic, and Asian teens face today, this work provides a framework for understanding the relationship between socialization in adolescence and social inequality in adulthood. By uncovering the role racial and ethnic differences play early on, we can better understand the sources of inequality in American life.

Book Synopsis Standing Outside on the Inside by : Olga M. Welch
Download or read book Standing Outside on the Inside written by Olga M. Welch. This book was released on 1997-03-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when increased emphasis is placed on pre-college preparation of disadvantaged students, the number of African American students entering colleges and universities continues to decline and the achievement gaps between these students and their White peers persist. While many enrichment programs report impressive gains, little research on these programs contains the perspective of the Black students. This book presents the results of a longitudinal study of academic achievement and pre-college enrichment of disadvantaged African American adolescents in two inner-city high schools. Through its presentation and analysis of the students' perceptions of pre-college enrichment seen in relation to their definitions of scholarship and the discussion of findings related to parent and teacher involvement, this book provides fresh perspectives on the school experiences of Black adolescents and offers important insights for those involved in both the development and evaluation of enrichment programs.
