Review Quotes:
"The Colour of Class closes a major gap in research on classed-based parenting and educational
inequality by putting the spotlight on the intersection of race and class. This well-written and
dynamic book will be enthusiastically welcomed by researchers and graduate students in the
field of educational inequalities, minority schooling, and anti-oppressive education."
- Max Anthony Newman, London Review of Education
