Epilogue Notes References IndexReviewsI liked this book for several reasons. First, it provided me with a fairly good overview of the discourse in anthropology and education that deals with ethnic or racial identity and the schooling process. Second, it suggests that schools can make a difference and that students do not react to schooling in a neatly predictable way according to their ethnic or racial identity. It suggests, then, that schools can be important cultural sites for the reconstruction of identity consistent with the empowerment of marginalized youth and that they can challenge power relations and beliefs in the dominant culture. Finally, I liked the book because of its attempt to understand all of these issues through a presentation and interpretation of several stories of youth in school. - Dennis L.
