Cases Not Proven: An Evaluation of Two Studies of Teacher Racism.
Foster, Peter
British Educational Research Journal, v16 n4 p335-49 1990
Evaluates two British ethnographic studies by Bruce Carrington and Edward Wood, and by Cecile Y. Wright claiming to find evidence of teachers' racist attitudes and behaviors toward Afro-Caribbean students that contributed to student underachievement. Delineates methodological flaws. Argues that Wright's findings that the source of racism is in school processes was not supported by the study. (CH)
