Yet, as this innovative new book suggests, children growing up in multicultural environments might be the most cosmopolitan group of all. City Kids profiles fifth-graders in one of New York City's most diverse public schools, detailing how they collectively developed a sophisticated understanding of race that challenged many of the stereotypes, myths, and commonplaces they had learned from mainstream American culture. Anthropologist Maria Kromidas spent over a year interviewing and observing these young people both inside and outside the classroom, and she vividly relates their sometimes awkward, often playful attempts to bridge cultural rifts and reimagine racial categories. Kromidas looks at how children learned race in their interactions with each other and with teachers in five different areas-navigating urban space, building friendships, carrying out schoolwork, dealing with the school's disciplinary policies, and enacting sexualities. The children's interactions in these areas contested and reframed race. Even as Kromidas highlights the lively and quirky individuals within this super-diverse group of kids, she presents their communal ethos as a model for convivial living in multiracial settings. By analyzing practices within the classroom, school, and larger community, City Kids offers advice on how to nurture kids' cosmopolitan tendencies, making it a valuable resource for educators, parents, and anyone else who is concerned with America's deep racial divides. Kromidas not only examines how we can teach children about antiracism, but also considers what they might have to teach us. 410 0$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 606 $aEthnicity in children$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vCase studies 606 $aMulticulturalism$xStudy and teaching (Elementary)$vCase studies 606 $aRace awareness in children$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vCase studies 606 $aRace$xStudy and teaching (Elementary)$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vCase studies 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xStudy and teaching (Elementary)$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnicity in children 615 0$aMulticulturalism$xStudy and teaching (Elementary) 615 0$aRace awareness in children 615 0$aRace$xStudy and teaching (Elementary) 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a305.8009747 700 $aKromidas$b Maria$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01249056 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148603203321 996 $aCity Kids$92894742 997 $aUNINA
