Li (teacher education, Michigan State U.) reports findings from an ethnographic study of six culturally-diverse families in urban America. The subjects include Sudanese refugees, Vietnamese refugees, and white working class and/or poor families living in Buffalo, New York. The text provides detailed accounts of the families' everyday experiences with literacy and schooling as they struggle to adjust and understand the American urban education system and/or to survive in an economically depressed, post-industrial city. The study demonstrates that while these inner-city working-class or underclass families are highly literate, committed to their children's success and capable of concerted cultivation that generates cultural capital, they continue to be held in a place of failure and disadvantage due to cultural and contextual barriers encountered in the inner city setting. For educators, researchers, and policy makers concerned with education, immigration, race, social class, and gender issues. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
