It's not just about black and white, Miss : children's awareness of race

Elton-Chalcraft, Sally2009
Book
Speaking openly about their ideas on race, these nine and ten year-olds show they have internalised the prevailing western mindset - whatever their own ethnicity. And this mindset is racist.Subject: In this book, the researcher has provided a sociologically informed observation of school life; the views and practice of the teachers and the important implications she identifies for policy and practice in schools. To find out what children think about cultural diversity and efforts to counter racism, she used empirical, child-centred research, conducted with a sample of Year 5 pupils in two predominantly white, and two ethnically diverse schools. The children were also involved in the research process. They discuss the murders of Stephen Lawrence and Ahmed Iqbal Ullah.
