Drawn from classroom observations and personal interviews, the book provides a theoretical framework for analyzing the complex network of cultural and historical discourses, limitations, and expectations that form the students' present lives and future outlook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author links the micro and macro levels of her analysis by grounding her study in the nature of the French school, the discursive boundaries of French society, and the volatile French economy. The book contributes to an overall understanding of the processes of identity formation; class, race\/ethnicity, and gender intersections; and women's responses to schooling and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Raissiguier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791420868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791420867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs","brand":"Catherine Raissiguier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438007562495,"sku":"9780791420867","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5bbef4b-8fb7-49d6-bc4c-e3e632738859.jpg?v=1777168170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-womenbecoming-workers-catherine-raissiguier-9780791420867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
