Lucas, Tamara; Schecter, Sandra R.
Urban Review, v24 n2 p85-104 Jun 1992
Argues that nonmainstream (nonwhite and nonmiddle class) students do not perform as well in school as do mainstream students because they are not equitably served by the educational system. Equity issues in the literacy education of minorities are explored, examining student characteristics, sociocultural factors, language issues, and instructional issues. (SLD)
