Abstract
In this paper, we outline a number of strategies to obviate resistance to anti‐racist education, especially in ‘all‐white’ areas. Drawing upon psychological research on attitude formation and change, we argue that there is a clear need to re‐think the packaging and targeting of such policies in order to broaden their appeal. It is our contention that anti‐racists must now stress that their educational philosophy is entirely compatible with a democratic education which aims to produce decent, fair‐minded, responsible and informed citizens. Unless this is done, the voice of anti‐racism will not be heard in the debate about the National Curriculum.
