RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 227191545 LA English T1 Corridor cultures : mapping student resistance at an urban high school A1 Dickar, Maryann., PB New York University Press PP New York YR 2008 SN 9780814720080 0814720080 9780814720097 0814720099 AB Based on participant observation in a racially segregated high school in New York City, Corridor Cultures examines the ways in which school spaces are culturally produced, offering insight into how urban students engage their schooling. Focusing on the tension between the student-dominated halls and the teacher-dominated classrooms and drawing on insights from critical geographers and anthropology, it provides new perspectives on the complex relationships between Black students and schools to better explain the persistence of urban school failure and to imagine ways of resolving the contradictions that undermine the educational prospects of too many of the nations' children.
