Constructing Asian/American Women On Screen, Charleen M. Wilcox

Topics interrogated include the over-determination of non-White bodies …

Also included in the research was the investigation of the relationship between each construct and effectiveness as perceived by their teachers. The research sample was composed of 30 elementary, middle, and high school principals and five to seven teachers who worked with each principal from schools within the United States. An …
