How are the processes of increasing ethnic and racial diversity
reflected in European schools? How do children and educators
experience and perceive interethnic relations in schools?
This book examines the issues of interethnic coexistence, the
management of ethnic diversity, xenophobic and racial attitudes
and, in particular, the under-researched topic of interethnic
violence among children in the school environment. Drawing together
qualitative and quantitative data across five European countries it
offers an insight into the views, personal experiences and
responses of children from different ethnic backgrounds to
interethnic violence in European schools.
International contributors from England, Slovenia, Cyprus, Italy
and Austria come together to provide a comparative study of
experiences of interethnic conflict and violence in primary and
secondary school classrooms. Each chapter focuses on positive
measures that can combat discrimination, providing examples of good
practice as well as considering the position of the school in
promoting citizenship in an increasingly global world. By examining
the experiences and perspectives of children, educators and
experts, the book provides up-to-date research findings in the
field and suggests key mechanisms for addressing interethnic
violence in schools. With support, schools can play a key role in
alleviating interethnic tensions and combatting ethnocentrism
through the implementation of strong policies, acting as protected
spaces . "
Children s Voices: Studies of interethnic conflict and violence
in European schools" is of international relevance both within
Europe, and beyond, and will appeal to researchers, teachers and
policy makers concerned with race equality in the classroom."
