"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"
