Reviews
“Building on the tradition of black anti-racist activism and critique, Maduro’s important book provides new empirical insights into the educational achievement of Caribbean descent young people in Britain, placing these within the broader context of their lives - family, church, socio-economic position. Using a psycho-social perspective, Maduro’s is a vibrant and challenging account of resilience and success against the odds.” (Claire Alexander, University of Manchester, UK)
