Another Spanner in the Works: Challenging prejudice and racism in mainly white schools
by Eleanor Knowles and Wendy Ridley

Moving on from the acclaimed Spanner in the Works, this book describes how teachers in mainly white areas can challenge attitudes and help children develop respect for diversity, understanding of interdependence and skills of openness and acceptance. It tackles the hard issues of negative perceptions and prejudice.

It offers a mix of stories of effective practice in white schools, and practical sections on, for instance, uncovering the attitudes held by teachers, governors, support staff and children and their perceptions of other countries. Like its predecessor, it will have relevance in white areas far beyond Cumbria.

Eleanor Knowles is Centre Officer for Cumbria Development Education Centre and editor of One World Linking for the UK One World Linking Association.

Wendy Ridley is an Advisory Teacher in Cumbria for antiracism, multicultural issues and primary RE and a trustee of Cumbria Development Education Centre.
