Multicultural Children in the Early Years

Creative Teaching, Meaningful Learning

By: Peter Woods,Mari Boyle,Nick Hubbard

How do multicultural children and their parents experience the very beginning of their school careers? How do teachers mediate the demands of the educational system, and how do the children adapt? What kind of access to the National Curriculum is offered to multicultural children? Originally published in 1999, the authors answer these questions by drawing on two years’ intensive research in three multi-ethnic institutions. They explore teachers’ values and beliefs and how they attempt to put them into practice. They describe how, at times, teachers were constrained to get things done because of pressures operating on them, but at other times, taught creatively in a way particularly relevant to the children’s concerns and cultures. The authors studied the children’s experiences on their transition into school, and argue that they were inducted into not only a general pupil role, but also one based on an anglicised model of pupil. Opportunities for learning which children found most meaningful came notably from free play, but these became gradually more limited as they engaged with the National Curriculum. These young children were forming complex identities as they sought to respond to the varying influences operating them. Their parents saw a cultural divide opening up between home and school. Many suggestions for practice and policy are made in the course of the book and are still relevant today.

Restructuring Schools, Reconstructing Teachers

Responding to Change in the Primary School

By: Peter Woods,Bob Jeffrey,Geoff Troman,Mari Boyle

Drawing on wide ranging research this book, originally published in 1997, explores how the policy changes of previous years were affecting primary teachers and their work at the time. Within the context of worldwide restructuring, the thoughts, feelings and activities of teachers in their daily work are examined. The core argument is that what used to be a complex but fulfilling job distinguished by professional dilemmas, which are amenable to professional skill, had become increasingly marked by tension and constraint, which frustrates teacher creativity. While some teachers found new opportunities in the ‘new’ primary school, many used strategical and micro-political activity in order to cope, while others fell victim to stress and burnout. The authors argue that teachers’ own active involvement in policy change is required if their creative potential is to be realized. The book will still be of interest to teachers in primary schools, researchers and policy makers.

Concrete Loyalties

Concrete Loyalties

By: Mari Christie

Three children grow in different directions from the same, turn-of-the-century Brooklyn street: Jimmy, an incorrigible teenage thug; Frankie, a fourth-grade math prodigy; and Flory, a sweet, sheltered girl with a foolhardy plan. Each faces a tragedy beyond which their lives will never be the same, and even as they struggle into adulthood, the ghosts of their tragic pasts follow. When the three meet up again, loyalty—and love—become commodities to be bought and sold and gambled away. From the openly corrupt New York Democratic Party to the underground crime culture of Prohibition, from New York to Europe, Africa, and South America, from endemic poverty to endless wealth, these three grow into determined, but terribly wounded adults, passing on to the next generation the traditions of the street where it all began.

Diplomats and Dreamers

The Stancioff Family in Bulgarian History

By: Mari Agop Firkatian

This book chronicles a family of diplomats who experienced the world in transition. Subjects of capricious fate, they forged a destiny as a family that overcame some of the most cataclysmic events of the twentieth century. Diplomats and Dreamers is a family biography that begins with the careers of the parents in 1887 and ends with the death of Nadejda Stancioff, their eldest child, in 1957. The context of historical developments in an uncertain period of European history highlights their lives. Members of the haute bourgeoisie, this accomplished family is noteworthy for an unflagging ability to survive and persist with success and grace. Furthermore, this book addresses issues of gender by using the careers of the Stancioff women as exemplars of how a woman could develop her life in an atmosphere of strict gender divisions in labor. The Stancioff women's way of fitting into the mainstream of elite society is yet another model of a new generation of women who stepped beyond the narrow expectations of what their gender could achieve. Based on unexplored, unpublished primary materials, this book enriches both women's history and European history.

Development of the Roadmap of Political Zionism in the State of Israel

By: Mari Carmen Forriol

This book deals with many different aspects of Zionism, including analysing the origins of Zionism in Western and Eastern Europe as a consequence of the antisemitism of the late 19th to mid-20th century in Europe. It also analyses how political Zionism was implanted in historic Palestine, and maps its development since the creation of the State of Israel and the consequences of this, among which are the country’s occupation, and the violation of the human, political and economic rights of its inhabitants. It also deals with Hamas’ response to this situation.
