This book is an ethnographic study of a comprehensive school in the
south of England. It explores the views of teachers, Asian parents
and their children concerning education and schooling. Young people
between the ages of 13 and 18 were studied at home and at school
and their experiences form the main focus of the study.
The experiences of fifty Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian families
- mostly of Muslim faith - are studied with a view to discovering
what parents expect from their children's school and how the
teachers perceive their own role with regard to their students.
These young people are the first generation of Asians to be
educated in Britain. Their location in terms of their social class
positions, gender and ethnicity are inextricably bound together.
They describe how they see their past and their future. This is the
first study to take account of boys and girls in order to capture
the complexity of their lived experiences.
