"If You Don't Identify with Your Ancestry, You're Like a Race without a Land": Constructing Race at a Small Urban Middle School
Jewett, Sarah
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v37 n2 p144-161 Jun 2006
Based on a one-and-a-half-year ethnographic study of a desegregated urban middle school, this article investigates the ways in which administrators, students, and teachers multiply constructed race through a network of policies, pedagogies, and practices. Using a framework of cultural production theory and critical race theory, the article not only illustrates these constructions but also argues that the careful analysis of them for themes of power and equity can inform the school curriculum and professional programs for preservice and practicing teachers.
