Race and Curriculum: Music in Childhood Education - Paperback

by R. Gustafson (Author)

This book focuses on the near total attrition of African American students from school music programmes and the travesty of democratic education that it symbolizes. Gustafson shows how understanding this history makes a space for change without resorting to the simplistic conclusion that the schools and teachers are racist.
