Stubborn roots : race, culture, and inequality in U.S. and South African schools / [electronic resource] Prudence L. Carter. New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, c2012. 1 online resource. Includes bibliographical references and index. The author shows how school communities can better incorporate previously disadvantaged groups and engender equity by addressing socio-cultural contexts and promoting 'cultural flexibility'. She also raises timely questions about the social, political, and philosophical purposes of multiracial schooling that have been greatly ignored by many, and cautions against narrow approaches to education that merely focus on test-scores and resources.
