Osborne, A. Barry

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v20 n3 p196-215 Sep 1989

Outlines power relationships that exist in the schools of a small-scale, Zuni (New Mexico) community. Describes complex set of insider-outsider relationships, analyzes their effects, and provides support for McDermott's notion of collusion. Highlights complexities teachers face in providing culturally responsive pedagogy in a small-scale, culturally different community. (Author/MW)
