Oppositional Culture Theory

By Paul C. Mocombe and Carol Tomlin

This book explores the black/white achievement gap in America and Great Britain, gaining understanding through black bourgeois living and the labeled pathologies of the black underclass, and arguing that the social functions of the dominating black consciousness are the locus of causality for the achievement gap.
