Change, Culture and Tradition: British Muslim Pupils Talk about Muslim Girls' Post-16 "Choices."

Archer, Louise

Race, Ethnicity and Education, v5 n4 p359-76 Dec 2002

Interviewed British Muslim adolescent boys and girls regarding their views on Muslim girls' education and employment, addressing how students understood notions of post-16 choice through themes of culture, change, identity, and inequality. Boys tended to construct young Muslim women in passive terms, believing that girls' post-16 participation was a matter of parental choice. Girls asserted that societal changes enabled them to experience a wider range of post-16 choices. (SM)
