Dividing Classes : How the Middle Class Negotiates and Justifies School Advantage, Paperback by Brantlinger, Ellen A., ISBN 041593298X, ISBN-13 9780415932981, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US
In this critical ethnography of . middle class school parents, teachers, and administrators, Brantlinger (curriculum and instruction, Indiana U. Bloomington) examines how relatively advantaged individuals pursue further schooling advantages to the detriment of poorer classes and rationalize their actions. She describes a dissonance between liberal values of equity and preferences for segregated schooling. She also explores class differences between teachers at affluent and disadvantaged schools, describing how teachers from poorer backgrounds oppose class stratification (to reuse the double entendre contained in th's title) but are not powerful enough to fight it.
