Ethnicity and Education in England and Europe: Gangstas, Geeks and Gorjas: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ethnicity and Education in England and Europe: Gangstas, Geeks and Gorjas" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Ethnicity and Education in England and Europe examines where, when and how minority ethnic groups miss out on educational opportunities. Through a combination of comparative, quantitative and qualitative methodologies and the showcasing of new research, it provides a fresh approach to examining the long-standing debates over ethnicity, and in particular ethnic differences in educational achievement. Drawing on extensive empirical research in England, as well as information gathered as part of a major international programme of research under the auspices of the European Union (EDUMIGROM), this book both synthesises the findings of the English team and puts these findings in context through comparison with the analytical material generated in a range of other European countries. With a key focus on the educational experiences and outcomes of the Roma in Central and Eastern Europe, as compared with the experiences of minority ethnic groups in Western Europe, this volume provides a contemporary assessment of ethnic relations across a selected range of European countries. Presenting comparative, cross-national analyses of ethnic inequalities and policy interventions, Ethnicity and Education in England and Europe makes a significant contribution to debates in the fields of migration, ethnicity and education, and will be of interest to both scholars and policy makers concerned with questions of race and educational outcome.

Ethnicity and Education in England and Europe
For those unfamiliar with the designations used in the sub-title of this book, the three groups which form its spine are, young street orientated and educationally disaffected gangstas and young intellectually orientated geeks, both in this context of ethnic origin, together with gorgas, young Whites from mainstream settled communities. In addition, and most significantly, this study also embraces Gypsy, Traveller and Roma young people, for whom education is all too often a peripatetic and segregating episode. This is a volume which explores the impact of ethnic differences in education, on young people in the European Union. Though primarily focusing on education and ethnicity in England, the book, which evolved from a three year EU programme, provides a broader geographical perspective, and enables its readers to compare and contrast policy aims and outcomes, as well as pupil experience, in eight countries across Europe, which for the purposes of the programme were divided into clusters rather than compared and contrasted separately.
