This book interviews Asian teachers of two generations: the 'older generation' who migrated to Britain during the 1960s and 1970s and the 'younger' generation, the majority of whom were born and educated in the UK.
Full Description
There is scarcity of research and literature on ethnic minority teachers. This book makes a contribution towards the understanding of the personal and professional concerns of Asian teachers of two generations: the "older generation" who migrated to Britain during the 60s and 70s and the "younger" generation, the majority of whom were born and educated in the UK. Three salient issues emerged from the inquiry which are interlinked. Firstly, the older generation felt that their professional development and promotion have been seriously affected by the degree of racism which they have met from some of their white colleagues. Secondly, the majority of younger generation Asian teachers prefer to teach in multicultural schools, which has far-reaching consequences for the development of a tolerant and just multicultural society. Lastly, the younger generation's perceived anxiety and apprehension, namely that they would meet racism in all-white schools, comes through.
