The author focuses her empirical study on the alarming underachievement of African Caribbean boys in British schools in comparison to other groups. She also adopts a historical perspective to compare West Indian children who arrived in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s (many labeled as ESN) (Coard 1971) to problems faced by black boys in today's classrooms. Janet Graham also explores the impact of globalization, population movement, government policies, and diversity on black boys' education provision in inner-city schools in Britain. She investigates masculinity, subcultures, peer-group pressures, and exclusion from school and their impact on black boys' education. The institutional focus study sets the context for the empirical study and provides a perspective from voices of black boys in one inner-London school to find out what they think about school, learning, subcultures, peer-group pressures, and teachers. As a contrast, teachers' views of the boys are also provided. This book will be of interest to educationalists, teachers, parents, school management, and government bodies interested in race, diversity, achievement, who want to bring about change to improve life chances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Graham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1543486207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781543486209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Janet Graham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459469160703,"sku":"9781543486209","price":23.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c98e988a-89fd-45ef-98f2-882b85fdd911.jpg?v=1777409879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-caribbean-boys-achievement-in-janet-graham-9781543486209","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
