The number of people in racially mixed relationships is steadily growing, yet their children are still often stigmatized and assumed to feel confused and unhappy about their racial identities. Social workers argue that they "need" to acquire a black identity, and hence should not be placed with white foster or adoptive parents. Tizard and Phoenix question these beliefs in an exploration of mixed-race identity. They show that many young people have a very positive dual identity, as both black and white, and resist prescriptions from others about the kind of identity they should have. The book is based on recent research with young people from a range of social backgrounds, all of whom had one white and one Afro-Caribbean or African parent. "Black, White or Mixed Race?" contains many quotations from interviews with both children and parents and examines their attitudes towards identity, their cultural origins, their attitudes to black and white people, and their experiences of racism. This is the first study to concentrate on adolescents of black and white parentage and is intended for all lecturers, students and professionals in social work and social policy.

In this milestone work, the authors explore the issue of mixed race identity, especially in relation to social work policy. In-depth interviews reveal adolescents' perception of their racial identity, its role in their lives, their feelings about having one black and one white parent, their attitude to black and white people, allegiance to black and white cultures, their experience of, and ways of coping with racism.

Black, White or Mixed Race?: Race and Racism in the Lives of Young People of Mixed Parentage

Black, White or Mixed Race?

The number of people in racially mixed relationships has grown steadily over the last thirty years, yet these people often feel stigmatised and unhappy about their identities. The first edition of Black, White or Mixed Race? was a ground-breaking study: this revised edition uses new literature to consider what is now known about racialised identities and changes in the official use of 'mixed' categories. All new developments are placed in a historical framework and in the context of up-to-date literature on mixed parentage in Britain and the USA. Based on research with young people from a range of social backgrounds the book examines their attitudes to black and white people; their identity; their cultural origins; their friendships; their experiences of racism. This was the first study to concentrate on adolescents of black and white parentage and it continues to provide unique insights into their identities. It is a valuable resource for all those concerned with social work and policy.

This fascinating account of an unusual research project challenges many assumptions about how young children learn and how best to teach them. In particular it turns upside-down the commonly held belief that professionals know better than parents how to educate and bring up children; and it throws doubt on the theory that working-class children underachieve at school because of a language deficit at home. The second edition of this bestselling text includes a new introduction by Judy Dunn.

p>Young Children Learning provides vivid insight into the way young children think, talk, and learn from their mothers. It reveals the richness of the home as a learning environment and shows how much children can learn through the ordinary conversations of everyday life.The book describes a research study in which four-year-old girls were tape-recorded talking to their mothers at home and to their teachers at nursery school. At home the children range freely over a wide variety of topics--work, the family, birth, growing up, death. They talk about plans for the future and puzzle over such diverse topics as the shapes of roofs and chairs, the nature of Father Christmas, and whether the queen wears curlers in bed. In many conversations the children are actively struggling to understand a new idea or the meaning of an unfamiliar word. These "passages of intellectual search" show the children to be persistent and logical thinkers.In sharp contrast, the conversations between these same children and their nursery school teachers lack richness, depth, and variety. The questioning, puzzling child is gone: in her place is a child who seems subdued and whose conversations with adults are mainly restricted to answering questions rather than asking them. These observations show how strongly young children can be affected by the move from one setting to another, and they suggest that, even at the nursery stage, children reserve their best thinking for outside the classroom, with a resulting compartmentalization of the knowledge they acquire at school.The book challenges the widely held belief that parents need to learn from professionals how to educate and bring up their children; above all, it persuades us to value parenting more highly and to have respect for the intellectual capabilities of young minds.

Young Children at School in the Inner City (Routledge Library Editions: Sociology of Education)

First published in 1988, this work reports on a major British study of children’s progress and behaviour in 33 infant schools. The research looks at children from nursery through to junior school and asks why some children had higher attainments and made more progress than others. Using observations not only in schools but also interviews with children and parents, the children’s skills on entering school were found to have an important effect on progress. In each school, black and white children, and girls and boys were studied, in order gauge whether gender or ethnicity were related to progress.
