- This monograph reports the findings of a two-year ESRC-funded project based on interviews with more than sixty parents of Black Caribbean ethnic heritage. Critical race theory and Bourdieuian frameworks were combined to analyse interviewees’ experiences during their own schooling and their attempts to guide their children through an often hostile educational environment. This large body of material represents the most extensive qualitative study to date of Black middle class parents and explores numerous intersecting issues, including racialized constructions of social class, gender (including the heightened surveillance and risk experienced by Black young men) and disability.
