This book illustrates the usefulness of understanding classrooms as peer and school cultural venues for examing diverse topics at any and all grade levels.

At the core of the volume are eight empirical ethnographic studies that employ a “classroom as cultures” framework. The voices of both children and teachers are ever-present in these analyses—literally in what children and teachers say and do, and metaphorically in the recurring theme of listening to their interests and perspectives as they negotiate daily classroom life together.

Each chapter is accompanied by a commentary from a leading researcher in the field that invites further reflection on the part of readers, whether they are teachers, graduate students, or researchers. The introductory and concluding chapters written by the editors, along with a prologue and epilogue by William Corsaro and Judith Green, further explicate the several coherent themes threaded through this group of studies. The rich dialogue creates a perspective for viewing the unique and powerful daily life in all classrooms.
