Sommario/riassunto

Sartre and No Child Left Behind provides a rich ethnographic account of students' psychological and emotional experiences of impoverished school settings, a much-ignored dimension of urban schooling. Darian Parker engages with a new anthropological theory of human consciousness to explore these students' experiences.
