Silences as Weapons: Challenges of a Black Professor Teaching White Students.
Ladson-Billings, Gloria
Theory into Practice, v35 n2 p79-85 Spr 1996
Discusses ways to interpret student silence, highlighting a black professor's experiences teaching white students. Student silence is likened to political situations in which people who feel disenfranchised by the process do not vote, which is a political statement in itself. The importance of not ignoring student silence is emphasized. (SM)
