Migrants' class and parenting: the role of cultural capital in Migrants' inequalities in education.
Although scholars consistently show that class-specific parenting, influenced by the resources parents have due to their socio-economic position, is one of the most important factors for children's different life chances and outcomes as adults, migrants' parenting is usually analysed with a focus on...

Building on cultural perspectives on class, this study demonstrates that migrant parents are differently endowed with institutionalised and embodied cultural capital, which shapes their parenting and therewith their children's educational opportunities. Specifically, parents differ in their trust in school authorities, the way they define their own role in shaping their children's education, and their self-esteem and confidence in assessing their children's abilities and performance. This study is based on the accounts of parents who migrated from Poland to Germany and shows that due to their class position, middle-class parents possess robust forms of cultural capital that they can transfer to their children in the context of migration. This finding makes a case for the relevance of class in the context of migration and thereby adds an important perspective to the study of migrants' inequalities in education, which tends to focus on 'ethnic' differences between migrants and 'natives'. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
