Elite schools have always been social choreographers par excellence. Elite schools around the world are positioned at the intersecting pinnacles of various scales, systems and regimes of social, cultural, political and economic power.

Recenzje

"This book is a compelling account of the ultra-serviceability of the English public school ethos and its masculinist, class-ridden and exclusionary practices. ... The result is a sociological tour de force. ... This is a monograph to savour, even if its main subjects' selfish and rampant individualism are themselves deeply unappealing." (Valerie Hey, Comparative Education, January, 2018)
