On the Power of Separate Spaces: Teachers and Students Writing (Righting) Selves and Future.
Weis, Lois; Centrie, Craig
American Educational Research Journal, v39 n1 p7-36 Spr 2002
Studied the effect of programs within desegregated schools that serve an identified population of students for cultural affirmation and advancement. Ethnographic data from a girls' group at an urban magnet school and a Vietnamese students' homeroom, focusing on 20 high school students, in an urban comprehensive school demonstrate both the power of such "spaces" and the contradictory impulses within such arrangements.
