First published in 1979, this book considers the culture of a
multi-racial community through the eyes of six children about to
start school. Each child is from a different background but all
live in the same street in a town in the north of England.
Following the children from home into school, their six separate
lives are unveiled, illustrating the manner in which their six
separate worlds are in some ways grounded in their own respective
cultures, and in others interwoven with the common experience of
school. These Children enter school in search of a multi-cultural
society, and a sympathetic appraisal is made of what happens to
them as they face such initially daunting prospects as the
classroom, television and the playground. The most compelling
element in this book is the way in which education is shown to be
able to derive benefit from this cultural diversity. The research
was commissioned by the Social Sciences Research Council and the
Leverhulme Trust, and will be of particular interest to those
working in social work and education.
