Skolan och den territoriella stigmatiseringen – Om två skolor i den urbana perifer

Abstract

Tule School and Birch School are two schools that at first glance seem to have much in common. They are both schools situated in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Both schools have predominantly students of different ethnic background and the educational level of the parents is low. The two schools ought reasonably to be exposed to the consequences of territorial stigmatization and the neighbourhood effect in the same way. The article discuss a number of factors that explain why this assumption can not be made.
