How do race and class intersect to shape the identities and
experiences of Black middle-class parents and their children? What
are Black middle-class parents' strategies for supporting their
children through school? What role do the educational histories of
Black middle-class parents play in their decision-making about
their children's education? There is now an extensive body of
research on the educational strategies of the white middle classes
but a silence exists around the emergence of the Black middle
classes and their experiences, priorities, and actions in relation
to education. This book focuses on middle-class families of Black
Caribbean heritage. Drawing on rich qualitative data from nearly 80
in-depth interviews with Black Caribbean middle-class parents, the
internationally renowned contributors reveal how these parents
attempt to navigate their children successfully through the school
system, and defend them against low expectations and other
manifestations of discrimination. Chapters identify when, how and
to what extent parents deploy the financial, cultural and social
resources available to them as professional, middle class
individuals in support of their children's academic success and
emotional well-being. The book sheds light on the complex, and
relatively neglected relations, between race, social class and
education, and in addition, poses wider questions about the
experiences of social mobility, and the intersection of race and
class in forming the identity of the parents and their children.
The Colour of Class: The educational strategies of the Black middle
classes will appeal to undergraduates and postgraduates on
education, sociology and social policy courses, as well as
academics with an interest in Critical Race Theory and Bourdieu.
The Colour of Class was awarded 2nd prize by the Society for
Educational Studies: Book Prize 2016.
