How the Question We Ask Most about Race in Education Is the Very Question We Most Suppress.
Pollock, Mica
Educational Researcher, v30 n9 p2-11 Dec 2001
Expands on an ethnographic study of a California school district, examining how adults repeatedly asked how achievement was linked to race yet repeatedly suppressed the question, and exploring the role of educational research in the dynamics of talk and silence. An explanatory habit of framing isolated players as particularly responsible for racial patterns appears throughout both professional and lay analysis. (SM)
