Chicanos, Intelligence Testing, and the Quality of Life.

Aguirre, Adalberto, Jr.

Educational Research Quarterly, v4 n1 p3-12 Spr 1979

This rationale suggests that inequality is the result of the group's inability to function competently within the American social and educational structures. (MH)
