Schooling and Symbolic Violence: The Effect of Power Differences and Curriculum Factors on Hispanic Students' Attitudes Toward Their Own Ethnicity.

Iadicola, Peter

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v5 n1 p21-43 Mar 1983

Using 118 sixth-grade Hispanic students from 10 California elementary schools, the study indicated that specific power differences (student, parent, and staff power) and curriculum factors (school's level of multicultural curriculum) were indeed mechanisms of symbolic violence as they were related to ethnic salience and attitudes toward students' ethnic group.
