Institutionalized Discrimination against Migrant Children: The Production of Ethnic Differences by the School.

Bommes, Michael; Radke, Frank-Olaf

Zeitschrift fur Padagogik, v39 n3 p483-97 May 1993

Rejects the hypothesis that low achievement by migrant children is because of deficient cultural attributes or institutional ethnocentrism of schools. Suggests that schools always discriminate--positively or negatively--when, according to their institutional logic, it appears to be appropriate. (CFR)
