Preferred term
cultural deprivation
Definition
- The concept of cultural deprivation began circulating in educational discourse in the 1960s, when many theorists argued that high rates of academic failure among African American children residing in economically devastated areas was indicative of the fact that they lacked the necessary cultural capital to succeed in school. It was believed that their families and communities did not possess and thus could not transmit the appropriate cultural values and patterns that would stimulate intellectual development and translate to school success.
