Less Than Equal: A Former Urban Schoolteacher Examines the Causes of Educational Disadvantagement.
Fritzberg, Gregory J.
Urban Review, v33 n2 p107-29 Jun 2001
Reviews competing explanations for disproportionate rates of school failure among poor, minority students, advancing a culture-centered framework that locates the problem in the complex interaction between nonmainstream students and mainstream schools. Chronic school-based inequalities exacerbate existing differences between poor and middle class students. Addresses the minority view that racial differences in academic performance are hereditary in nature. (SM)
