Ethnicity articles

Here i have found 3 articles relevant to children and ethnicity:

Number 1. http://www.open2.net/healtheducation/family_childdevelopment/2005/ethnicity.html
This article explores the role that ethnicity has on children and their development. An ethnic group is therefore a group of people who see themselves as being distinctive in some way from others and of having a common heritage or background. 

Number 2. Radey, M. Brewster, KL, (2007), The influence of race/ethnicity on disadvantaged mothers’ child care arrangements, Early Childhood Research Quarterly.


Number 3. http://0-www.ingentaconnect.com.pugwash.lib.warwick.ac.uk/content/routledg/ceth

Directed Time Activities- Gender

Been browsing on the Warwick web catalogue and found 3 journal articles relating to gender..

Herzfeld, B., (2002), Slavery and Gender: Women's Double Exploitation, Gender and Development, 10(1), pp. 50-55.

This journal specifies that even thought slavery affects men, women and children there are particular slavery-like practices that are gender specific. 

Jeanes, E., Knights, D., Martin, P., (2011), Handbook of Gender, work and organization. 

This journal looks into gender involved within the work place. 

Healey, J, F., (2010), Race, ethnicity, gender and class. 

Here's a Google keyword search relating to children and gender..
