'Race', Class and Gender in Exclusion From School (Studies in Inclusive Education Series)

This book explores the impact of 'race', class and gender on the interaction of pupils and their teachers in the classroom setting. It seeks to examine the extent to which these variables can account for differential rates of school exclusion between pupils from different ethnic/racial groups, socio-economic classes and genders.
