The Social Construction of Reading Lessons: Resistance and Social Reproduction.

Malmstad, Betty J.; And Others

Journal of Education, v165 n4 p359-73 Fall 1983

Analyzes how and why upper-middle-class children did not receive reading remediation during a summer program designed for this purpose. Explores reasons that people may resist (covertly or overtly) while simultaneously helping to sustain a particular set of social relations, institutional practices, and ideological legitimations.
