This is a case study of one teacher's decision to add multicultural
children's books to her social studies curriculum and an analysis
of how her ideologies about race shaped the classroom discourse. A
class of fourth and fifth grade students in a small, Midwestern
city work to understand American history and racial tolerance
through reading and discussing fiction. By applying critical
discourse analysis techniques to the dialogue between the teacher,
the students, and the text itself, this work explores how an
elementary teacher balances the need to manage the classroom
conversation and to create a safe classroom environment at the same
time she attempts to explore the issue of social inequity through
classroom discourses.
