Opis

This book critically explores the role of state schooling in the reproduction of social class inequalities in the United Kingdom. By uniquely combining critical ethnographic methods with participatory and visual research, it foregrounds the experiences and recollections of working-class adults in relation to their past schooling.

Recenzje

This book makes a fresh and much-needed contribution to the understanding of the education of the working class.　It is methodologically unique and theoretically rich. Sharon Jones renews Marxist analyses of educational disadvantage and the role of education in the distribution of opportunities.
