Sally Tomlinson's Race and Education offers a detailed account of how racial discrimination has shown itself throughout the education system over the past 60 years, and how this has led to an unequal educational experience for many ethnic minority children in the UK.
Tomlinson associates trends and issues with the political climate and ideology of the time, and illustrates the black, Asian and minority ethnic communities who were directly impacted at specific times. By using this method, she is able to demonstrate the centrality of education to other social issues such as crime, housing and employment, and how this reinforces discrimination across the board. Taking the debate up to current themes and concerns, the book illustrates how the community cohesion agenda has infiltrated the way schools perceive discrimination.
