“…Recent research suggests that the particular, historical and contemporary relationship between the dominant GC group and the various ethnic minority groups in Cyprus, result in different kinds of stereotypes of these minority groups (Stevens et al, 2014); stereotypes that intersect with gender (Spyrou, 2012) and social class (Zembylas, 2013a). Hence, it would be theoretically interesting to investigate the differences and similarities in how these minority groups in Cyprus respond to racism from GCs.…”

While research has focused on the role of racism in (re)producing ethnic/racial inequalities in education, there is very little research that investigates how variability in minority students' responses to racism can be explained. By using an ecological approach to integrate existing research on actors' responses to racism, this study finds that researchers have generally neglected factors and processes situated at the micro and meso-levels of analysis. Qualitative interview data with Turkish-Cypriot children enrolled in schools in the predominantly Greekspeaking part of the Republic of Cyprus is used to investigate their strategies in response to racism and the factors that explain the observed variability in their responses. The findings suggest the importance of and interactions between factors situated at different levels of analysis, including the level of organizations and social groups and face-to-face interactions in explaining variability in young people's responses to racism.
