"Survival": A White Teacher's Conception of Drama with Inner-City Hispanic Youth.

Saldana, Johnny

Youth Theatre Journal, v11 p25-46 1997

Profiles how and why a White, upper-middle-class teacher who was trained in aspects of play production and theater education changed her conception of educational drama as she worked in an inner-city magnet school with impoverished, inner-city Hispanic youth. Discusses culture shock, cross-cultural functioning, and survival in terms of ethos, gang subculture, language, and staff authority. (SR)
