Drawing on over two years of intensive fieldwork and analysis, author Sara M. Childers shows how students, teachers, and parents work both within and against traditional deficit discourses to demonstrate the challenges and paradoxes of urban schooling. It offers an up-close description of how macro-government policies are\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003einterpreted, applied, and even subverted for better or worse by students as active agents in their own education. The book moves on to develop and analyze the concept of \"urban cachet,\" tracing how conceptions of race and class were deeply entwined with the very practices for success that propelled students towards graduation and college entrance. A poignant, insightful, and practical analysis, \u003ci\u003eUrban Educational Identity\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely exploration of how race and class continue to matter in schools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234881524056,"sku":"9781138842915","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138842915_706631a6-091c-4e0e-8265-ae9a370cc915.jpg?v=1769548532","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/urban-educational-identity-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
