Ethnicity in the Urban High School: A Naturalistic Study of Student Experiences.
Semons, Maryann
Urban Review, v23 n3 p137-58 Sep 1991
How students' ethnicity perceptions affect the educational process is ethnographically studied through interviews of about 50 students attending a multiethnic high school in a California city. Ethnicity's relevance varies depending on social situations and students' interpretations of events. Denial of one's ethnic identity centers around prejudice and internalized oppression. (SLD)
