 The Invisible Culture Communication in Classroom and Community on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation
Susan Urmston Philips
A classic in the fields of educational
anthropology and sociolinguistics, this volume offers much to the understanding
of the organization of communication in the classroom. With an approach that
balances both theory and application, Philips explores the experience of Warm
Springs Indian children in an American school. She reveals the ways in which the
daily interactions among the teachers and students place the Indian children in
a subordinate position not only by virtue of their status as children and
students relative to adult teachers, but also as Indians relative to the
dominant Euro-American culture. While this book is ostensibly about the
experience of the Warm Springs children, it also expresses important insights
for anyone who seeks to understand the role of language in culture. $15.50 list, 147 pages 10-digit ISBN: 0-88133-694-7 13-digit ISBN: 978-0-88133-694-8 © 1983 Table of Contents
