{"product_id":"story-and-stereotype-isabel-russell-gill-9783639030341","title":"Story and Stereotype: Aboriginal Literature as Anti-racist Education","description":"Literature textbooks used in secondary schools in Alberta reflect the belief that not only does literature have the power to change and shape our thinking, but also that the non-White voices of the culture need to be heard if Canada is to become a country which truly welcomes and values cultural diversity. The realization that many high school students in the Crowsnest Pass area of Southern Alberta held negative stereotypes about Canadian Aboriginal people prompted this study which measured how effective studying literature written by Aboriginal writers was in reducing prejudice. Within each grade, indi-vidual students showed significant attitude changes. In all grades, female students had significantly lower scores than males, both pre - and post-test, evidence that there are perhaps different stages of moral development in females than males. Qualitative data revealed an increased understanding of Aboriginal issues and student attempts to view the world from a non-White perspective. This study documents successful and unsuccessful methods of com-bating racism in the classroom and will be valuable to teachers and all those planning to work with children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabel Russell Gill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639030346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639030341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Isabel Russell Gill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200982499583,"sku":"9783639030341","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c165e54a-23d6-4d83-847f-0d09b93c2ec6.jpg?v=1756788483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/story-and-stereotype-isabel-russell-gill-9783639030341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
