Recenzje

'Race for Education is a welcome addition to the literature on the history and politics of schooling and inequality in South Africa … the depth and breadth of the research and the window it provides into different worlds of schooling in the first two decades after apartheid-make this book essential reading for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of contemporary South African social dynamics.' Linda Chisholm, American Historical Review
