Ethnicity Journals

Childhood and the construction of ethnic identities in a global age...thought this one would cover both Rachels & Lin's. It shows of how drama education in schools  can help to construct identities concentrating more on new ethnic identities.
Key points to consider:
Children are influenced by cultural tradtions
Children who are in the process of creating their identity do not construct them from tradition but transform them.
Identities are not essentially on their own as children switch them in different contexts and by diverse cultural influences often produce new ones.
The swann report published in 1985 helped to make the term ' multicultural education' happen, which was formed to help provide all pupils prepare for life in a multi-racial society.

Disability, ethnicity and childhood: A critical review of research.....An article showing how little research has been done giving the disabled childs perspective focussing more on black and asian children showing that their voices are almost silent. The disablility movement has mirrored socitey in genral and for most part has been led by white, middle class hetrosexual males. I concludes that further research is need in blac and asian disabled children to meet their particular needs.
