Understanding Minority Ethnic Achievement: Race, Gender, Class and 'Success'

The authors of this book take a refreshing approach to the issue of minority ethnic achievement as they examine the views, identities and educational experiences of those pupils who are undoubtedly 'achieving', but who tend to remain ignored and overlooked within popular concerns about under-achievement. By investigating the factors underpinning 'success', this ground-breaking book shows how a better understanding of high achievement can also inform our knowledge of under-achievement.
