'Race', masculinity and schoolingby Louise Archer
McGraw-Hill Education 2007; US$ 43.98Muslim boys are currently 'hot topics' of social and educational debate: they have been associated with global terrorism, fundamentalism,urban rioting and, within the context of schooling, they appear to be suffering from disproportionately high rates of exclusion and low rates of achievement and post-16 progression. This timely and innovative book examines the issues in detail, fore-grounding Muslim boys' own views of their lives and schooling. The book explores the complex interplay between race/ethnicity, religion, masculinity and social class within Muslim boys' lives. Attention is also given to the role of the teacher/researcher within the boys' production of masculine identities. The book draws on illuminating new research data and reviews... more...

Elternarbeit bei Kindern mit Migrationshintergrund in der Grundschuleby Birgül Günesli
Diplomica Verlag 2009; US$ 35.39Momentan wird in den Medien bezüglich der Muslime in Deutschland viel über deren Partizipation auf der einen und die Entwicklung von Parallelgesellschaften auf der anderen Seite diskutiert. Türkische Einwanderer stehen als größte nationale Gruppe im Zentrum des Diskurses. Betrachtet man allerdings die Teilnehmer der zahlreichen Diskussionsrunden, dann fällt auf, dass die Muslime, um die es hauptsächlich geht, fehlen. Die Gespräche werden über die Muslime geführt, aber nicht mit ihnen. Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich schwerpunktmäßig mit Eltern, die einen Migrationshintergrund aufweisen und deren Kindern, die in deutschen Grundschulen integriert werden sollen. Ziel der Studie ist es, einen Überblick über die spezifische Situation der... more...
Der Umgang mit Immigranten im deutschen Schulsystemby Daniel Bick
Diplomica Verlag 2008; US$ 40.75Hauptbeschreibung Diese Arbeit sollte ursprünglich klären, warum in den Sonderschulen Deutschlands überproportional viele Kinder von Migranten eingeschult werden. So wird ein Kind mit Migrationshintergrund mit ungefähr der doppelten Wahrscheinlichkeit eines deutschen Kindes an eine Sonderschule versetzt. Bei den Recherchen zu dieser Problematik stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass sich eine Chancenungleicheit im gesamten deutschen Bildungssystem wiederfinden lässt und sie nicht ein spezifisches Problem der Sonderschulen ist. Schüler mit ausländischem Hintergrund sind auf den Gymnasien und erst recht auf den Hochschulen chronisch unterrepräsentiert. Wie kommt es zu diesem Misstand? Ein wohl maßgebliches Werk von Gomolla und Radtke zu dieser Thematik... more...
The New Kidsby Brooke Hauser
Simon & Schuster 2011; US$ 9.99Some walked across deserts and mountains to get here. Others flew in on planes. One arrived after escaping in a suitcase. And some won’t say how they got here. These are “the new kids”: new to America and all the routines and rituals of an American high school, from lonely first days to prom. They attend the International High School at Prospect Heights in Brooklyn, which is like most high schools in some ways—its halls are filled with students gossiping, joking, flirting, and pushing the limits of the school’s dress code—but all of the students are recent immigrants learning English. Together, they come from more than forty-five countries and speak more than twenty-eight languages. A singular work of... more...
Mothers Unitedby Andrea Dyrness
University of Minnesota Press 2011; US$ 69.00In urban American school systems, the children of recent immigrants and low-income parents of color disproportionately suffer from overcrowded classrooms, lack of access to educational resources, and underqualified teachers. The challenges posed by these problems demand creative solutions that must often begin with parental intervention. But how can parents without college educations, American citizenship, English literacy skills, or economic stability organize to initiate change on behalf of their children and their community?. In "Mothers United," Andrea Dyrness chronicles the experiences of five Latina immigrant mothers in Oakland, California--one of the most troubled urban school districts in the country--as they become informed... more...
