Rövid leírás:
In The Culture Trap, Derron Wallace argues that the overreliance on culture to explain Black students' achievement and behavior in schools is a trap that undermines the historical factors and institutional processes that shape how Black students experience schooling. Drawing on rich ethnographic observations and interviews, Wallace suggests that use of culture as a proxy for gauging and justifying achievement outcomes obscures the very real ways school structures, institutional processes, and colonial and post-colonial conditions matter for the racial, class, and gender inequalities Black Caribbeans students experience in the US and Britain. Wallace shows how culture is at times used as an alibi for racism in schools, and points out what educators, parents, and students can do to change it.

In The Culture Trap, Derron Wallace argues that the overreliance on culture to explain Black students' achievement and behavior in schools is a trap that undermines the historical factors and institutional processes that shape how Black students experience schooling. This trap is consequential for a host of racial and ethnic minority youth in schools, including Black Caribbean young people in London and New York City.
Since the 1920s, Black Caribbeans in New York have been considered a high-achieving Black model minority. Conversely, since the 1950s, Black Caribbeans in London have been regarded as a chronically underachieving minority. In both contexts, however, it is often suggested that Caribbean culture informs their status, whether as a celebrated minority in the US or as a demoted minority in Britain.
Drawing on rich observations, interviews and archives in London and New York City schools, Wallace suggests that the use of culture to justify Black Caribbean students' achievement obscures the very real ways that school structures, institutional processes, and colonial conditions influence the racial, gender, and class inequalities minority youth experience in schools. Wallace reveals how culture is at times used as an alibi for racism in schools, and points out what educators, parents, and students can do to change the beliefs and practices that reinforce racism.
This is an important contribution to our understanding of how discourses and practices of racial representation work to shape and perpetuate ethnic inequalities in our schools. Wallace's comparative ethnography of schools in London and New York offers a unique insight into how ideas of culture and identity are formed historically and politically, and how these are lived by those caught in the trap of ethnic expectations. With a sharp eye for detail and an ear for the voices of young people, teachers, and parents, Wallace breathes new life into an old, and seemingly intractable, problem.
