`This book is a must for practising teachers contemplating their own studies, ...' - Education Review Autumn 1993
`The ultimate fascination, and achievement, of Gender and Ethnicity in Schools is that the reader completes the book immeasurably better prepared to explore ethnographic accounts in constructively critical way. In a era in which teachers are encouraged to take a personal interest in professional development this book should therefore prove popular beyond the ranks of those formally undertaking further study.' - Gender & Education
