Literacy, Culture, and Politics of Schooling: Counternarratives of a Chinese Canadian Family.
Li, Guofang
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v34 n2 p182-204 Jun 2003
Describes a Chinese Canadian immigrant family that is encountering difficulties with schooling, demonstrating the complex interrelationship between home literacy, culture, and politics of schooling. Findings suggest that cultural mismatch theory alone cannot explain minority school failure. Rather, multilevel interactions, including cultural differences, modes of incorporation, and differential power relationships between school and home result in minority students' school difficulties.
