The Power of Parents: A Critical Perspective of Bicultural Parent Involvement in Public Schools (Counterpoints: Studies in the Postmodern Theory of Education)

"Delving into the often unexplored areas of class, racism, and power struggles, The Power of Parents poses a critical examination of the relationship between bicultural parents and the school system. Written with students and practitioners in mind, it challenges past research that has traditionally argued bicultural parents are incompetent, apathetic, and do not value education, hence the cause of their children's academic underachievement. This book sheds new light on why bicultural parents often mistrust the school system and uncovers the contradictions inherent in the relationship between them and school personnel."--Jacket.
