Minorities and Education in Plural Societies.
Mickelson, Roslyn Arlin
Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v24 n3 p269-76 Sep 1993
Reviews by Margaret A. Gibson (1988) and by Margaret A. Gibson and John U. Ogbu, Eds. (1991). These two books contribute significantly to theories of minority school success and failure in plural societies. Both distinguish between immigrant and involuntary minority groups, and attribute differing degrees of academic success to the cultural models that guide the behavior of these groups. (SLD)
