Editorial Reviews

‘This book is a must for practising teachers contemplating their own studies, ...' - Education Review Autumn 1993

‘The ultimate fascination, and achievement, of Gender and Ethnicity in Schools is that the reader completes the book immeasurably better prepared to explore ethnographic accounts in constructively critical way. In a era in which teachers are encouraged to take a personal interest in professional development this book should therefore prove popular beyond the ranks of those formally undertaking further study.' - Gender & Education
