Young black women bear all the hallmarks of a fundamentally unequal society. They do well at school, contribute to society, are good efficient workers yet, as a group they consistently fail to secure the economic status and occupational prestige they deserve. This book presents a serious challenge to the widely held myth that young black women consistently underachieve both at school and in the labour market. In a comparative study of research and writig from America, Britain and the Caribbean Young, Female and Black re-examines our present understanding of what is meant by educat

Gelijke kansen in het onderwijs gaan niet alleen over sekseverschillen. Deze verschillen worden ook doorkruist door andere verschillen zoals het verschil in sociale klasse, etniciteit en religie. Zwarte meisjes krijgen niet alleen te maken met discriminatie omwille van hun sekse maar ook op basis van hun huidskleur. Een onderwijsbeleid dat iedere jongen en meisje gelijke kansen wil bieden zal hier rekening mee moeten houden. In dit boek worden de ervaringen van zwarte meisjes in het Britse schoolsysteem onderzocht. De zwarte meisjes doen het ook hier beter dan de zwarte jongens. En ook hier is de vaststelling dat een succesvolle schoolloopbaan zich niet vertaalt naar de arbeidsmarkt. Uit statistische gegevens blijkt dat er bij de schoolprestaties, rekening houdende met gender en sociale afkomst, vooral een etnische kloof prevaleert.

This book reveals the roots of structural racism that limit social mobility and equality within Britain for Black and ethnicised students and academics in its inherently white Higher Education institutions. It brings together both established and emerging scholars in the fields of Race and Education to explore what institutional racism in British Higher Education looks like in colour-blind 'post-race' times, when racism is deemed to be ‘off the political agenda’. Keeping pace with our rapidly changing global universities, this edited collection asks difficult and challenging questions, including why black academics leave the system; why the curriculum is still white; how elite universities reproduce race privilege; and how Black, Muslim and Gypsy traveller students are disadvantaged and excluded. The book also discusses why British racial equality legislation has failed to address racism, and explores what the Black student movement is doing about this. As the authors powerfully argue, it is only by dismantling the invisible architecture of post-colonial white privilege that the 21st century struggle for a truly decolonised academy can begin. This collection will be essential reading for students and academics working in the fields of Education, Sociology, and Race.
