Student Culture and the Contradictions of Equality at a Mexican Secondary School.

Levinson, Bradley A.

Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v29 n3 p267-96 Sep 1998

Examines the dynamic relationship between official school structures and forms of student subjectivity through an ethnographic account of student culture at a Mexican secondary (junior high) school with 1,400 students. Students appropriated the official school structure to fashion a culture of equality that accommodated and denied different student sensibilities. (SLD)
